Elections to Manchester Borough Council were held on Wednesday, 1 November 1843. One third of the councillors seats were up for election, with each successful candidate to serve a three-year term of office. The Conservative Party continued their boycott of municipal elections due to their opposition to Manchester's incorporation.[1] The Liberal Party retained overall control of the council.[2]
In the wake of the election, the Conservative-leaning Manchester Courier, which had previously disputed the legitimacy of Manchester's Charter of Incorporation,[3] published an editorial calling on the party to begin challenging the Liberals on Manchester Corporation.
