The 2016 Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council election took place on 5 May 2016 to elect members of Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council in England.[1] This was on the same day as other local elections. Stockport Council is elected in thirds which means that in each three member local ward, one councillor is elected every year, except every four years which is classed as fallow year. The last fallow year was 2013, when no local government elections took place in the borough. Those councillors elected with serve a four-year term expiring in 2020, the term was subsequently extended for a further year due to the deferral of the 2020 UK local elections.
Following the elections, the Lib Dem minority administration was replaced by a Labour minority administration. The Liberal Democrats had previously governed Stockport with a majority from 2002, and in a minority since 2011. This was able to occur as a result of a Liberal Democrat councillor defecting to Labour on election night, leaving Labour as the largest party with 23 councillors to the Liberal Democrats 21. [2]
