Description

Elections took place for the twenty-six district councils across Northern Ireland. Though the UUP remained the largest party with 27.9% of the vote, the Unionists lost control of Belfast City Council for the fist time. The SDLP also lost overall control of Derry City Council due to Sinn Féin's gains.
