The 1891 Wellington City mayoral election was part of the New Zealand local elections held that same year to decide who would take the office of Mayor of Wellington for the following year.
The incumbent mayor, Arthur Winton Brown, declined to stand for re-election. Before he ruled himself out, councillor Charles Frederick Worth (who had opposed Brown in 1890) had announced his candidacy.[1] Brown led a deputation to request that lawyer and candidate at the in the electorate, Francis Bell, stand for the mayoralty, which he agreed to do.[2] The election took place during a period when political partisanship was increasing. Bell was a land estate owner and had worked for many years for Conservative Party MP Sir John Eldon Gorst. In contrast, Worth was of a working-class background, had been president of the Working Men's Club in Napier, and had a long association with the Liberal Party.[3]
