Labour won nine out of the 11 seats up for re-election on the City of Lincoln Council on May 22, maintaing its control of City Hall.
Overall, 30.09% of the 65,000 people registered to vote in Lincoln went to the polls.
Before the elections, Labour had 25 of 33 councillors, with eight Conservatives. Now Labour has 27 seats and Conservatives have six after losing two.
Ric Metcalfe defended his seat in the Glebe ward, and he will maintain control of the City Council over the next four years. Here is his reaction after the results:

The two independent Eastern European candidates running in Park and Carholme only garnered dozens of votes.
Here is how each ward voted, and the their turnouts.
