The 2023 Worcester City Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect members of Worcester City Council in Worcestershire, England.[2] This was on the same day as other local elections in England.
Prior to the election the council had been under no overall control. The Conservatives were the largest party and their group leader, Chris Mitchell, was the leader of the council. The council remained under no overall control after the election, but the Conservatives went from being the largest party to being the third largest party, not winning any of the seats available at this election. Conservative leader Chris Mitchell was one of those who lost his seat. Labour were the largest party after the election, for the first time since 2000, and the Greens made the most gains, gaining four new seats and winning the popular vote for the first time.[3]
The Labour group leader, Lynn Denham, and the Green group leader, Marjory Bisset, were appointed joint leaders of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 16 May 2023.[4]
The Statement of Persons Nominated, which details the candidates standing in each ward, was released by Worcester City Council following the close of nominations on 5 April 2023.[5]
