Labour have narrowly kept overall control of Oldham council following a nail-biting election battle - but saw their third leader in three years ousted by an independent.
It was the first all-out election in the borough for nearly two decades where all 60 seats went to the ballot box, and Friday’s count proved to be tense for all parties.
In total Labour managed to secure 32 seats, but their majority has been slashed from five to just two, meaning the borough teeters on the verge of no overall control.
