1991 Leeds City Council election

Leeds City council elections 1991 November 2019 right|thumb|500px|Map of the results for the 1991 Leeds council election. The 1991 Leeds City Council elections were held on Thursday, 2 May 1991, with one third of the council and a vacancy in Horsforth to be elected. The upsurge in Labour support recorded the previous year mostly unwound, allowing the Conservatives and the renamed Liberal Democrats a more successful election - although the latter also looked to be recovering from their disastrous merger, fielding a more convincing slate and gaining a moderate rise in their vote. The surprise Conservative losses of 1990 election were all defended this time round - although only narrowly in the case of Weetwood, with Halton and Pudsey North being much safer and Aireborough actually a gain from the Lib Dems. Labour managed a gain a seat apiece from the main opposition parties, with a comfortable win in Burmantofts from the Lib Dems and snatching the last Conservative seat in Morley North to further extend their record majority. Meanwhile, the Greens stood in over a third of the wards - their strongest slate in over a decade, and the Liberals won third place in each of the handful of wards they stood in. Notably absent were the enduring CPGB and David Owen's Social Democrats, both parties having chosen to dissolve themselves by the time of election.District results: Leeds The Yorkshire Post 3 May 1991 Election result Leeds local election result 1991 Labour Party (UK) 22 2 0 +2 64.7 46.1 102,103 -10.0 Conservative Party (UK) 8 1 1 0 23.5 30.2 66,860 +3.5 Liberal Democrats (UK) 4 0 2 -2 11.8 20.2 44,631 +5.8 Green Party of England and Wales 0 0 0 0 0.0 1.9 4,219 +0.5 Liberal Party (UK, 1989) 0 0 0 0 0.0 1.5 3,265 +0.5 Independent (politician) 0 0 0 0 0.0 0.1 208 -0.1 This result has the following consequences for the total number of seats on the council after the elections: PartyPrevious councilNew council Labour 66 68 Conservative 21 21 Liberal Democrat 11 9 Independent 1 1 Total 99 99 Working majority #FFBF00 33 darkgray #FFBF00 37 darkgray Ward results Aireborough Conservative Party (UK) M.
