With almost all the results in, Labour retains control of all five councils.
Labour has retained its domination of local politics in West Yorkshire by comfortably holding Leeds, Calderdale and Kirklees councils.
The Conservatives saw a few losses in Leeds including a surprise defeat to the Green Party in Wetherby."It's not just a rejection of the government's policies," he said.The final result in Leeds saw Labour make a net gain of two seats, giving them 60 councillors, while the Conservatives have 18 after suffering a net loss of three. There will be 12 independent councillors, six Liberal Democrats, a net loss of one, and three Green Party members.
All in all, it points to West Yorkshire being a key battleground once more in next year's general election. The new council make-up is virtually unchanged with Labour on 28, Conservatives 15, Liberal Democrats on six, and Greens on two.
