The election saw Labour Councillors remain the largest party as they gained 1 additional seat to hold half the seats on the Council. The Scottish National Party also increased their representation by 1 seat and remained in second place on the authority. The Scottish Liberal Democrats remained in third place but lost half of their seats, falling from 4 seats to 2. The Independent and Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party retained their solitary seats on the authority.
Following the election the Labour Party again formed a minority administration this time with the support of the Independent and the Conservative Party Councillors.
Note: "Votes" are the first preference votes. The net gain/loss and percentage changes relate to the result of the previous Scottish local elections on 3 May 2007. This may differ from other published sources showing gain/loss relative to seats held at dissolution of Scotland's councils.
† On 13 September 2014 Inverclyde South Labour Cllr Vaughan Jones resigned from the party and became an Independent in opposition to her party's stance on the Scottish Independence Referendum. [1]
