The1998 Newham London Borough election for theNewham London Borough Council was held on 7 May 1998. The whole council was up for election. Turnout was 28.4%. Labour won every seat for the second time since the councils formation.

Background

[edit]

In between the 1994 election and this election there were a total of 7 by-elections to replace councillors who resigned from their seat, however none of these by-elections resulted in the seat changing parties.[2] As well as these by-elections there was 1 defection of the only Lib Dem councillor to the Labour Party, which meant the composition of the council just before the election was as follows:[3]

60
Labour

A total of 138 candidates stood in the election for the 60 seats being contested across 24 wards. Candidates included a full slate from the Labour Party, whilst the Conservative Party ran 31 candidates and the Liberal Democrats ran 11 candidates. In both cases this was a lot less than 4 years before. Other candidates running were 8 Socialist Labour, 2 National Democrats, 11 BNP, 1 Monster Raving Looney and 14 Independents.[4]
