The1998 Ealing Council election took place on 7 May 1998 to elect members ofEaling London Borough Council inLondon, England. The whole council was up for election and theLabour party stayed in overall control of the council.[2]
The composition of the council didn't change much since the election in 1994.
There were four by-elections, with only the Argyle by-election resulting in a seat changing parties, with it changing from Conservative to Labour.[3] In addition to these by-elections, Cllr. Neal G. Underwood changed allegiance from Labour to the Green Party and one seat was left vacant shortly before the 1998 election.
As a result of these changes, the composition of the council just before the election was as follows:[4]
| 47 | 1 | 3 | 19 | 1 |
| Labour | Green | LD | Con | Vacant |
| Party | Seats | Gains | Losses | Net gain/loss | Seats % | Votes % | Votes | +/− | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Labour | 53 | 6 | 1 | 74.65 | 50.43 | 91,714 | |||
| Conservative | 15 | 1 | 6 | 21.13 | 31.91 | 58,025 | |||
| Liberal Democrats | 3 | 0 | 0 | 4.22 | 12.40 | 22,552 | |||

| Socialist Labour | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.00 | 1.69 | 3,066 | New | ||
| Total | 71 | ||||||||
The election was a victory for the ruling Labour Party, increasing the number of seats they held by five. The Green Party lost its only seat, which it had gained through a defection in the intervening years, with Labour regaining the seat.
After the election the composition of the council was as follows:
