Elections for the City of Westminster London borough were held on 6 May 2010. The 2010 general election and other local elections took place on the same day.
In London council elections the entire council is elected every four years, as opposed to the local elections ‘by thirds’ in some areas of England, in which a third of the councillors are elected every year for three years and then no election is held in the fourth year.
The Conservatives retained control of the council, and all wards continued with the same party representation as at the previous borough election in 2006.
Labour did win back the Church Street seat they had lost to the Conservatives at a 2008 by-election, but the Results chart below shows, correctly, that there were no seat gains or losses for any Party at this election compared to the previous Westminster Council election of 2006.
Results
Ward results The share of the vote for each candidate below is calculated as a percentage of the total voter turnout in each of the relevant wards. (A different percentage could be arrived at by calculating candidate vote shares as a relevant percentage of the total number of votes cast in each ward, given that each voter can cast up to three votes).
The majority number (and majority percentage) in each ward listed below is the margin of votes between the lowest-placed winning party candidate and the runner-up party's highest-placed losing candidate.
Candidates marked with an asterisk are the incumbent councillors.
