Council control Council control after election Coalition Liberal Democrats and Conservatives Minority administration Labour The 2010 Leeds City Council election took place on Thursday 6 May 2010 to elect members of Leeds City Council in England. It was held on the same day as the 2010 general election and other local elections across the UK. As per the election cycle, one third of the council's seats were up for election. The subsequently elected councillors replaced those elected when their individual seats were previously contested in 2006. The result of the election saw the Labour Party gain five council seats and take minority control of the council. They held 48 of the 99 total seats and negotiated a confidence-and-supply agreement with the two Green Party councillors to achieve a majority. It replaced a six-year coalition between the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives, which had also been supported by the three Green councillors before the election. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10177984 Leeds City Council under minority Labour leadership BBC News 27 May 2010 http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/latest-news/top-stories/leeds-city-council-local-election-results-in-full-1-2244826 Leeds City Council local election: Results in full 2013-01-20 Yorkshire Evening Post https://www.andrewteale.me.uk/leap/results/2010/67/ Local Elections 2010: Leeds 2013-01-20 andrewteale.me.uk Election result Leeds local election result 2010 Labour Party (UK) 20 5 0 5 60.6 35.7 124,847 +6.9 Conservative Party (UK) 6 0 1 1 18.2 26.6 92,987 -4.1 Liberal Democrats (UK) 5 0 3 3 15.1 24.5 85,905 +5.4 British National Party 0 0 1 1 0.0 6.8 23,759 -4.6 Green Party of England and Wales 0 0 1 1 0.0 2.4 8,525 -1.4 Morley Borough Independent 2 1 0 1 6.1 2.0 6,900 -1.3 UK Independence Party 0 0 0 0.0 0.9 2,993 -0.0 Alliance for Green Socialism 0 0 0 0.0 0.7 2,550 -0.3 Independent (politician) 0 0 0 0.0 0.4 1,465 -0.4 This result had the following consequences for the total number of seats on the council after the elections: Party2008 electionMay 2009Prior to electionNew council Labour 43 42Temple Newsam ward councillor, Jacqueline Langdale, resigned for personal reasons and triggered an April 2009 by-election.
