Elsewhere Heckmondwike BNP councillor David Exley was ousted by Labour in a shock result.
Coun Exley was the first BNP councillor to be elected onto Kirklees and was the leader of the three-strong group.
It was the second time he defended his seat after initially being voted in during a by-election.
In the 2008 results, just announced, he was beaten into second place by Labour's Steve Hall with a majority of 194 votes.
