2023 UK local government election
The 2023 Charnwood Borough Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect members of the Charnwood Borough Council in Leicestershire, England. This was on the same day as other local elections across England.
Prior to the election the council had been under Conservative majority control since 2007. The leader of the council was the Conservative group leader, Jonathan Morgan, who had led the council since 2017. The council went under no overall control at this election; the Conservatives lost their majority and Jonathan Morgan lost his seat.
A Labour minority administration formed after the election with informal support from the Greens. Labour group leader Jewel Miah was appointed leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 22 May 2023.
