The 2012 Leeds City Council election took place on Thursday 3 May 2012 to elect members to Leeds City Council in England. It was held on the same day as other local elections across the UK.
As per the election cycle, one third of the council's seats were up for election. The councillors subsequently elected replaced those elected when their individual seats were previously contested in 2008.
Since taking majority control of the council in 2011, the Labour council administration increased their total number of councillors from 55 to 63. They won eight more seats at the election, including six from the Liberal Democrats. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
