The 2012 Cardiff Council election took place on Thursday 3 May 2012 to elect members of Cardiff Council in Wales. [1] This was the same day as the national 2012 Welsh local elections. [2] It was preceded by the 2008 election and followed by the 2017 election
Labour gained control of the council from the Liberal Democrats and Plaid Cymru, after gaining 32 seats. [3] The Liberal Democrat leader of the council, Rodney Berman, lost his seat by 51 votes after two recounts, [4] bringing Labour's gains to 33. Sixty-one-year-old Labour councillor Heather Joyce, nicknamed 'Supernan' by the local newspaper, became the new council leader. [5]
