The Leeds municipal elections were held on Thursday 7 May 1959,[1] with one third of the seats and extra vacancies in East Hunslet and Stanningley up for election.[2] Mirroring their national recovery,[1] the Conservatives achieved a 3% swing[3] to win the popular vote and make the only gain of the night in the marginal Wortley.[2] The Liberals fielded their greatest number of candidates since 1951, and as such received their highest vote since then.[2] Turnout fell by just under a percentage point from the year before to 36.3%.[3] Election result{{Election Summary Begin|title = Leeds Local Election Result 1959}}{{Election Summary Party||party = Labour Party (UK) |seats = 19 |gain = 0 |loss = 1 |net = -1 |seats % = 63.3 |votes % = 46.5 |votes = 59,182 |plus/minus = -3.3% }}{{Election Summary Party| |party = Conservative Party (UK) |seats = 11 |gain = 1 |loss = 0 |net = +1 |seats % = 36.7 |votes % = 49.0 |votes = 62,414 |plus/minus = +2.9% }}{{Election Summary Party| |party = Liberal Party (UK) |seats = 0 |gain = 0 |loss = 0 |net = 0 |seats % = 0.0 |votes % = 4.0 |votes = 5,046 |plus/minus = +0.3% }}{{Election Summary Party| |party = Communist Party of Great Britain |seats = 0 |gain = 0 |loss = 0 |net = 0 |seats % = 0.0 |votes % = 0.5 |votes = 630 |plus/minus = +0.1% }}{{Election box end}} The result had the following consequences for the total number of seats on the council after the elections:[3]
