The 2023 Derby City Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect all 51 members of Derby City Council in Derbyshire, England. [1] This was on the same day as other local elections across England.

Contents

New ward boundaries were drawn up for this election, although the number of councillors remained 51. This election also marked a change in the electoral pattern for the city council. Prior to this election a third of the council was elected at a time three years out of every four. From this election onwards the whole council would be elected together every four years. [2]

Prior to the election the council was under no overall control, being run by a Conservative minority administration. The council remained under no overall control after the election but Labour overtook the Conservatives to become the largest party. [3] Labour group leader Baggy Shanker was appointed leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 24 May 2023, leading a Labour minority administration. [4]

While some have reported Reform Derby as being synonymous with Reform UK, the parties are in fact distinct but affiliated entities. [5] [6] [7]

Summary

Election result

Following the results, the council remained in no overall control, with Labour becoming the largest party. [8]
