The Leeds municipal elections were held on Thursday 11 May 1967, with one third of the council up for election as well as vacancies in the wards of Woodhouse and Wortley. The final election on present boundaries, the Conservatives won a decisive victory on a 3.8% swing to a record share and their highest vote in over fifteen years. The Tories picked up five seats in total from Labour, and for the first time since 1951, won their second seat in the wards of Kirkstall, Stanningley and Westfield, and gained full representation in Bramley and Wortley. With those gains the Conservatives now had a narrow lead in councillors, with only Labour's superior aldermen totals stopping the Tories from gaining the council and adding it to the list of momentous victories that night.
