The first elections to East Ayrshire Council were held on 6 April 1995, on the same day as the 28 other Scottish local government elections. The council was created from the former Cumnock and Doon Valley and Kilmarnock and Loudoun district councils and assumed some of the responsibilities of the former Strathclyde Regional Council following the implementation of the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994.
The election was the first since the Second Statutory Reviews of Electoral Arrangements which was initially meant to decide boundaries for the district and regional councils. After the district councils were abolished by the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994, the review was instead used to decide boundaries for the newly created unitary authority. As a result, there remained 10 seats covering the former Cumnock and Doon Valley District and 20 seats were established for the former Kilmarnock and Loudoun District, two more than had been in use since the Initial Statutory Reviews of Electoral Arrangements in 1981.

Labour took control of the council after winning 22 of the 30 seats. The other eight seats were won by the Scottish National Party (SNP).
