Overview All 65 council seats were up for election, though the election in the safe Conservative ward of Heath was delayed, with the results coming later (though not affecting Labour's majority control). Since 1987 Labour had governed in coalition with the SDP–Liberal Alliance. Following the 1991 election it regained a majority on the council.Labour sweep the city - Tory gloom as eight seats fall South Wales Echo 3 May 1991 3 One of the major upsets of the election was the next Cardiff Lord Mayor-to-be, Gerald Brinks, losing his Roath seat. His designated successor, Anthea Thomas, also lost her seat in Llanishen. This meant Cllr Jeff Sainsbury unexpectedly became the new Lord Mayor, four years earlier than planned, as well as leader of the Conservative group on the council. Labour made 11 gains and lost only one seat, to Independent Betty Campbell, in Butetown. The Conservatives lost 8 seats and the Liberal Democrats lost three.
