The 2023 Oadby and Wigston Borough Council election was held on 4 May 2023 to elect all 28 members of Oadby and Wigston Borough Council in Leicestershire, England. This was on the same day as other local elections across England.[1] [2] [3]
All wards were up for election, each with 2 or 3 councillors to be elected. The Liberal Democrats were defending control of the council, having won 24 of 26 seats at the previous election.[4] The previous leader of the council, John Boyce, stood down as leader two weeks before the election, having decided not to stand for re-election. He had been in the post for 17 years. He was replaced by Samia Haq.[5] [6]
The Liberal Democrats retained their majority at the election.
