City of Cardiff Council election, 1995
The first election to the City of Cardiff Council following the re-organization of local government in Wales was held on 4 May 1995.[1] It was followed by the 1999 elections. On the same day there were elections to the other 21 local authorities in Wales and community councils in Wales. Labour won a majority of the seats.[2]
