The 2016 Leeds City Council election took place on Thursday 5 May 2016 to elect members of Leeds City Council in England. [1] It was on the same day as other local elections.
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 2012.
The Labour Party retained all 21 of their contested council seats, maintaining their majority control of the council with a total of 63 of the 99 elected councillors. It was the second election in a row in which no party gained or lost any seats.
