The results dramatically shifted the political landscape—the council is now under no overall control, setting the stage for intriguing contests in the coming years. This year’s all-out election was a rare event prompted by boundary changes, requiring all 51 council seats to be contested simultaneously. Starting next year, the council will resume its usual cycle of electing one-third of councillors each year for three years out of every four.
