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.
