Also featuring 2008 by-election
The DUP saw their vote increase by almost 8% and as a result picked up two new seats. However they remain by behind the UUP in the overall vote and seat count (5:4). The SDLP were able to buck the trend here in 2005 by picking up an additional seat previously held by long standing Independent, Davy Kettyles. Sinn Fein consolidated their position as the largest party on the council with nine councillors.
