2012 Manchester City Council election

Elections to Manchester City Council took place on 3 May 2012, on the same day as other 2012 United Kingdom local elections and alongside a referendum on whether to replace the council's leader with a directly elected mayor. One third of the council was up for election, with those councillors elected in the 2008 Manchester City Council election having defended their seats on this occasion with vote share changes compared on that basis. == Election result == == Ward results == === Ancoats and Clayton === === Ardwick === === Baguley === === Bradford === === Brooklands === === Burnage === === Charlestown === === Cheetham === === Chorlton === === Chorlton Park === === City Centre === === Crumpsall === === Didsbury East === === Didsbury West === === Fallowfield === === Gorton North === === Gorton South === === Harpurhey === === Higher Blackley === === Hulme === === Levenshulme === === Longsight === === Miles Platting and Newton Heath === === Moss Side === === Moston === === Northenden === === Old Moat === === Rusholme === === Sharston === === Whalley Range === === Withington === === Woodhouse Park === == By-elections between 2012 and 2013 == === Ardwick: 15 November 2012 === === Ancoats and Clayton: 10 October 2013 === === Ancoats and Clayton: 5 December 2013 === == References ==
