1967 Belfast Corporation election
Elections to the Belfast Corporation were held on 17 May 1967. The elections saw the Ulster Unionist Party win an increased majority.
Results
The Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) stood 53 candidates, of whom 44 were elected, a gain of 5 seats. These mostly came at the expense of the Northern Ireland Labour Party, which was reduced to only two seats. The Republican Labour Party made gains, including taking all three seats in Dock ward, defeating independent unionists, who had been suspended from the UUP.[1]
Lord Mayor of Belfast, suffered a surprise defeat, also standing as an independent unionist.[1]
