The 2012 Huntingdonshire District Council election took place on 3 May 2012 to elect members of Huntingdonshire District Council in Cambridgeshire, England. One third of the council was up for election and the Conservative Party stayed in overall control of the council.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/special/vote2012/council/E07000011.stm|title=Huntingdonshire|date=4 May 2012|publisher=BBC News|access-date=12 July 2014}}

After the election, the composition of the council was:

Background

Before the election the Conservatives controlled the council with 41 seats, compared to 8 for the Liberal Democrats, 2 UK Independence Party and 1 independent.{{cite news|url=http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/Huntingdon-St-Ives-St-Neots/Clock-ticks-down-to-districts-elections-12042012.htm|title=Clock ticks down to district's elections|last=Makey|first=Julian|date=12 April 2012|work=News & Crier|access-date=12 July 2014}} 3 councillors stood down at the election, Conservatives Philip Swales of Ramsey ward and John Watt in Yaxley and Farcet, as well as Liberal Democrat Peter Ward in Warboys and Bury.{{cite news|title=Door is open for new faces|last=Raville|first=Matthew|date=2 May 2012|work=Peterborough Evening Telegraph|via=NewsBank}}

15 seats were contested with the Conservatives guaranteed to keep a majority on the council whatever happened. The Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats and UK Independence Party contesting every seat except for in Sawtry where there was no Conservative candidate and Ramsey where the Liberal Democrats did not stand.{{cite news|url=http://www.huntspost.co.uk/news/latest-news/hunts_goes_to_the_polls_thursday_1_1365895|title=Hunts goes to the polls Thursday|date=2 May 2012|work=Hunts Post|access-date=12 July 2014}} There was one candidate from the Official Monster Raving Loony Party and a number of independents standing, including Dick Tuplin defending his seat in Sawtry, former Liberal Democrat Derek Giles in St Neots Eaton Socon and 2 candidates opposed to the westward expansion of St Ives.

Election result

The Conservatives lost 3 seats and were run close in Godmanchester and The Hemingfords as well,{{cite news|url=http://www.huntspost.co.uk/news/latest-news/hdc_full_poll_results_1_1368852|title=HDC – full poll results|date=4 May 2012|work=Hunts Post|access-date=12 July 2014}} but they kept a strong majority on the council.{{cite news|url=http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/News/Labour-celebrates-Huntingdonshire-milestone-but-Tories-still-dominate-04052012.htm|title=Slideshow: Labour celebrates Huntingdonshire milestone – but Tories still dominate|date=4 May 2012|work=Cambridge News|access-date=12 July 2014}} Labour, the UK Independence Party and an independent each took a seat from the Conservatives, but the Conservatives did gain a seat in Warboys and Bury from the Liberal Democrats.

The Labour gain came in Huntingdon North, where Patrick Kadewere defeated the chairman of the council Jeff Dutton.{{cite news|title=UKIP take third ward seat in Ramsey|date=4 May 2012|work=Peterborough Evening Telegraph|via=NewsBank}} This gave Labour their first seat on the council since the 1999 election. Meanwhile, the UK Independence Party took a seat in Ramsey, giving the party all 3 councillors for the ward, with the party also getting an increased share of the vote across the council.

Independents polled strongly with former Liberal Democrat councillor Derek Giles getting back on the council as an independent after taking St Neots Eaton Socon from the Conservatives. Independent Dick Tuplin also held his seat in Sawtry

with a majority of 818 votes, while other independents came close to taking seats.

The Liberal Democrats lost one of the three seats they had been defending and came last in many of the wards they had been contesting. However party leader Peter Downes held his seat in Brampton comfortably and the party held Huntingdon East from the Conservatives after a recount.
