The 2023 North West Leicestershire District Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect all 38 members of North West Leicestershire District Council in Leicestershire, England. This was on the same day as other local elections across England.
Following the results, the Conservatives lost the council to no overall control.[1] Labour won most seats, but fell three seats short of a majority. An alliance of the Conservatives, Liberal Democrats and two of the independent councillors subsequently formed. With exactly half the council's seats the alliance did not have a majority either, but was able to form an administration on receiving the chair's casting vote at the annual council meeting on 22 May 2023. Conservative leader Richard Blunt therefore retained his position as leader of the council.[2]
