2012 UK local government election From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elections to Manchester City Council took place on 3 May 2012, on the same day as other 2012 United Kingdom local elections. One third of the council was up for election, with those councillors elected in the 2008 Manchester Council election having defended their seats on this occasion with vote share changes compared on that basis.
The composition of the Council after the election was as follows:
