THE Bolton Council 2021 election count was held at the University of Bolton stadium on Friday.
Below are the results in full.
After Thursday's vote, the Conservatives seem likely to continue leading Bolton Council after they became the largest party.
They won three more seats and lost one and now have 20 councillors of the borough’s 60.
Labour also gained a councillor and held on to the seven seats they were defending and now have a total of 19 councillors.
The remaining seats are held by a mix of the Lib Dems and smaller independent and hyperlocal parties.
There were 21 seats fought for on Thursday in 20 wards across Bolton, with 99 candidates standing.
The council remains under no overall control.
