Birmingham City Council elections

British municipal elections

Birmingham City Council elections are held every four years. Birmingham City Council is the local authority for the metropolitan district of Birmingham in the West Midlands, England. Since the last boundary changes in 2018, 101 councillors have been elected from 69 wards.[1] Prior to 2018 elections were held three years out of every four, with a third of the council elected each time.[2]

## Political control[edit]

From 1889 to 1974 Birmingham was a county borough, independent of any county council.[3] Under the Local Government Act 1972 it had its territory enlarged and became a metropolitan borough, with West Midlands County Council providing county-level services. The first election to the reconstituted city council was held in 1973, initially operating as a shadow authority before coming into its revised powers on 1 April 1974. West Midlands County Council was abolished in 1986 and Birmingham became a unitary authority. Political control of the council since 1974 has been held by the following parties:[4][5]

| Labour | 1974–1975

| Conservative | 1982–1984

### Leadership[edit]

The role of Lord Mayor of Birmingham is largely ceremonial, with political leadership provided by the leader of the council. The first leader of the council after the 1974 reforms, Clive Wilkinson, had been the leader of the old county borough of Birmingham since December 1973.[6] The leaders since 1974 have been:
