Council control Council control after election Coalition Liberal Democrats and Conservatives Coalition Liberal Democrats and Conservatives The 2008 Leeds City Council election took place on Thursday 1 May 2008 to elect members of Leeds City Council in England. As per the election cycle, one third of the council's 99 seats were contested, plus an additional vacancy in Calverley and Farsley ward as Amanda Carter stood down. Those seats up for election were those of the first-placed candidate elected for every ward at the 2004 all-out election, who had been granted a four-year term to expire in 2008. It saw the Liberal Democrat and Conservative coalition administration continue their control of the council. Despite both Labour and the Liberal Democrats winning more seats, the Conservatives won the majority of votes cast for the first time since 1992. The Liberal Democrats regained a total of 24 seats on the council by defeating former Liberal Democrat-turn-independent and then Conservative councillor for Weetwood ward, Brian Jennings. This had followed Hyde Park and Woodhouse councillor, Kabeer Hussain, defecting from the Liberal Democrats to Labour in October 2007, who he then left less than six months later to sit as an Independent before the 2008 election. http://www.leeds.gov.uk/files/Internet2007/2010/11/lcc%201st%20may%202008.pdf Leeds City Council Election results - 1st May 2008 leeds.gov.uk 2013-01-18 https://web.archive.org/web/20110104223245/http://www.leeds.gov.uk/files/Internet2007/2010/11/lcc%201st%20may%202008.pdf 2011-01-04 https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/bsp/hi/elections/local_council/08/html/da.stm Elections 2008: Leeds 2013-01-18 BBC News http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/latest-news/top-stories/local-elections-leeds-results-1-2179981 Local elections: Leeds results 2013-01-18 Yorkshire Evening Post http://www.andrewteale.me.uk/leap/results/2008/67/ Local Elections 2008: Leeds 2013-01-18 andrewteale.me.uk Election result Leeds local election result 2008 Conservative Party (UK) 8 0 0 0 26.5 31.41 59,722 +4.41 Labour Party (UK) 13 0 0 0 38.2 28.67 56,124 -3.83 Liberal Democrats (UK) 9 0 0 0 26.5 18.89 37,216 -0.81 British National Party 0 0 0 0 0.0 11.35 22,094 +0.15 Green Party of England and Wales 1 0 0 0 2.9 3.72 7,449 -0.18 Morley Borough Independent 2 0 0 0 5.9 3.19 6,379 +0.49 Alliance for Green Socialism 0 0 0 0 0.0 0.97 1,945 +0.07 Independent (politician) 0 0 0 0 0.0 0.77 1,532 -0.03 UK Independence Party 0 0 0 0 0.0 0.9 1,808 0.0 English Democrats Party 0 0 0 0 0.0 0.14 276 -0.16 This result had the following consequences for the total number of seats on the council after the elections: Party2007 electionPrior to electionNew council Labour 43 43 43 Liberal Democrat 24 23 24The Liberal Democrats increased their number of council seats by defeating incumbent Weetwood ward councillor, Brian Jennings, who had previously resigned from the Liberal Democrat council group following the 2006 election and joined the Conservatives in May 2007.
