\n\t\t\tAS WE reach the final third of seats to be declared, here is a running total of how many each party has.<\/p>\n
We have had a late flurry for the Green Party with its members taking six seats in quick succession \u2013 Brandwood and Kings Heath, Hall Green North and Billesley.<\/p>\n
96 \/ 101 seats<\/p>\n

It is now impossible for any one party to reach the 51 needed for a majority so Birmingham City Council will have No Overall Control.<\/p>\n
But who will be the biggest party is still to be decided with five seats yet to be decided.<\/p>\n
