One third of the council was up for election https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/bsp/hi/elections/local_council/08/html/bn.stm Vote 2008: Manchester BBC 2012-01-17 - every ward of the city returned one councillor at this election out of the three councillors a ward in the city has. Four national political parties - the Conservative Party, Labour, Liberal Democrats and the Green Party - each stood a candidate in every ward in this election. There were candidates from other political parties standing in some of the wards, but there were no independent candidates standing for election this year in the city. The Labour Party retained overall control of the council. The Green Party lost their only seat in Hulme to Labour, and the Conservatives failed to gain their first elected councillor, though became the third party on the council due to having one councillor through an earlier defection. The Liberal Democrats, who had suffered two defections since the last election - firstly the aforementioned Tory defection, and another to Labour - gained two councillors (in Miles Platting & Newton Heath and Northenden) but lost one (in Longsight) to Labour. Voting took place between 7am and 10pm on Thursday 1 May 2008 and counting took place that night at the Town Hall. Overall turnout fell slightly to 27%.http://www.manchester.gov.uk/site/scripts/documents_info.php?documentID=3507 Local Election Results 2008 manchester.gov.uk 2012-01-17 dead
