The 2013 City of London Corporation election took place on 21 March 2013 to elect members of the Court of Common Council in the City of London Corporation, England.[1] These elections take place every four years.[2] As in the previous election, the vast majority of Council members were elected as independents.
All 100 seats were won by independent candidates[3]
In a subsequent by-election in the Portsoken ward in 2014 the Labour party won its first ever councillor in the Corporation: William Campbell-Taylor, an Anglican priest who had campaigned for higher ethical standards in the City.[5]
