Council control Council control after election Coalition Liberal Democrats and Conservatives Coalition Liberal Democrats and Conservatives The 2006 Leeds City Council election took place on Thursday, May 4, 2006 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 Killingbeck & Seacroft ward. Those seats up for election were those of the third-placed candidate elected for every ward at the 2004 all-out election, who had been granted a two-year term to expire in 2006. The only party to gain a seat was the British National Party, defeating the Morley Borough Independents in Morley South to elect their first and only councillor to date. With the council remaining in no overall control, the election result saw the Liberal Democrat and Conservative coalition administration continue their control of the council. http://leeds.gov.uk/files/Internet2007/2010/11/lcc%204th%20may%202006.pdf Leeds City Council Elections - 4th May 2006 - Results leeds.gov.uk 2013-01-13 https://web.archive.org/web/20120621232314/http://leeds.gov.uk/files/Internet2007/2010/11/lcc%204th%20may%202006.pdf 2012-06-21 http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/latest-news/top-stories/local-election-results-2006-1-2156212 Local Election Results 2006 2013-01-11 Yorkshire Evening Post http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/vote2006/locals/html/da.stm Local elections: Leeds 2013-01-13 BBC News http://www.andrewteale.me.uk/leap/results/2006/67/ Local Elections 2006: Leeds 2013-01-13 andrewteale.me.uk Election result Leeds local election result 2006 Labour Party (UK) 16 0 0 47.0 31.6 62,957 +2.5 Conservative Party (UK) 7 0 0 20.6 27.0 53,693 +0.1 Liberal Democrats (UK) 8 0 0 23.5 21.4 42,554 -2.0 British National Party 1 1 0 1 2.9 11.4 22,642 +3.7 Green Party of England and Wales 1 0 0 2.9 4.6 9,118 -1.4 Morley Borough Independent 1 0 1 1 2.9 2.4 4,749 -0.2 Alliance for Green Socialism 0 0 0 0.0 1.0 2,067 -0.6 English Democrats Party 0 0 0 0.0 0.3 563 +0.3 Independent (politician) 0 0 0 0.0 0.1 254 -1.8 Respect – The Unity Coalition 0 0 0 0.0 0.1 252 -0.1 Christian Peoples Alliance 0 0 0 0.0 0.1 140 +0.1 British People's Party (2005) 0 0 0 0.0 0.1 135 +0.1 This result had the following consequences for the total number of seats on the council after the elections: PartyPrevious councilNew council Labour 40 40 Liberal Democrat 26 26 Conservative 24 24 Morley Borough Independent 6 5 Green 3 3 BNP 0 1 Total 99 99 Working majority #FFBF00 -19 darkgray #FFBF00 -19 darkgray Councillors who did not stand for re-election +Councillor/s who did not stand for re-election (5) Councillor Ward First elected Party Reason Successor Gareth Beevers Morley South 2004 Morley Borough Independents stood down Christopher Beverley (British National Party) Stuart Bruce Middleton Park 1999 Labour stood down Debra Coupar (Labour) Michael Davey Killingbeck & Seacroft 2002 Labour stood down Vonnie Morgan (Labour) Mitchell Galdas Rothwell 2004 Liberal Democrats stood down Stewart Golton (Liberal Democrats) Claire Nash Farnley & Wortley 2000 Green stood down Luke Russell (Green) Incumbent Liberal Democrat councillor, Stewart Golton (Weetwood), was elected to represent a new ward, succeeding Mitchell Galdas in Rothwell.
