2006 Birmingham City Council election
The 2006 Birmingham City Council election took place on 4 May 2006 to elect members of Birmingham City Council in West Midlands , England . One third of the council was up for election, with an extra vacancy in Kingstanding due to pending legal proceedings. The result for Kingstanding was the subject of an election petition after errors at the count led to Sharon Ebanks (BNP ) being wrongly declared elected.
The results saw the council remain in no overall control, with the Conservatives winning the most seats in this election, leading to the Conservatives and Labour holding an equal number of seats on the council.
