The 2023 Leicester City Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect all 54 members of Leicester City Council in England. This was on the same day as other local elections, and the election for the directly elected Mayor of Leicester.
Labour's Peter Soulsby was re-elected as mayor and the party retained its majority on the council, but with a significant loss of 22 seats compared to its position at the previous election in 2019. The Conservatives gained 17 extra seats against the national trend.[1] The Green Party and Liberal Democrats also made gains, with each being represented by three seats.[2]
