# 2006 Fareham Borough Council election

The 2006 Fareham Council election took place on 4 May 2006 to elect members of Fareham Borough Council in Hampshire, England. Half of the council was up for election and the Conservative Party stayed in overall control of the council.
After the election, the composition of the council was:
* Conservative 22
* Liberal Democrat 9

## Election result

The results saw the Conservatives keep control of the council, after the party defended all the seats they had been holding. The Liberal Democrats held the 6 seats they had been defending, while Labour failed to win any seats with their vote share dropping to 8%. This meant the Conservatives had 22 seats, compared to 9 for the Liberal Democrats. The first British National Party candidate standing in Fareham finished with more votes than either of the Labour candidates in Portchester East and said the party would contest more seats at the next election. Overall turnout in the election was 40.86%, similar to the turnout in 2004.
