Elections to Fife County Council were held on 10 May 1949, the same day as the other county councils in Scotland. The election saw Labour win 18 of the 25 contested seats, with 5 going to the Moderates, and 2 to the Communists. [1]
Despite these gains Labour were unable to form a majority on the council, and the Moderates (despite winning only half of the landward seats) were able to form a majority in the council due to the majorities in the town councils for Leven and Inverkeithing, both of which sent representatives to the county council.
