The 2023 South Holland District Council election took place on 4 May 2023, to elect all 37 members of South Holland District Council in Lincolnshire, England. This was on the same day as other local elections across England.
Prior to the election the council was under Conservative majority control. At the previous election in 2019 every elected candidate had been either a Conservative or an independent councillor. In 2021 a group of the independent councillors formed a registered political party, the "South Holland Independents". [1] By the time of the 2023 election seven of the independent councillors had joined the South Holland Independents. They sat on the council as a group with four of the other seven independent councillors as the "South Holland Independents and Independents" group. The other three independent councillors (all of whom had been elected as Conservatives) did not belong to any group. [2] [3]
Following the results, the Conservatives retained overall control, but with a reduced majority. Their leader, Gary Porter, who had been leader of the council since 2003, lost his seat. [4] Nick Worth was appointed the new leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 17 May 2023. [5] The South Holland Independents won 15 seats and the other three seats were won by other independent councillors. The South Holland Independents and independents formed a single group of 18 councillors after the election called the "Independent Group". [6]
