# 2023 City of York Council election

Elections to City of York Council took place on 4 May 2023, as part of the United Kingdom local elections. They were held on the same day as other local elections in England. The incumbent leader of the council and leader of the Liberal Democrats, Keith Aspden did not stand for re-election, with it being announced ahead of the elections that Nigel Ayre would be the Liberal Democrats' new leader.
At the election Labour took a majority of the seats on the council. While the Liberal Democrats had a net loss of only two seats, they were rendered unable to continue in power after their coalition partners, the Green Party, lost all their seats on the council. The Conservative Party, who had led the council in a coalition with the Liberal Democrats between 2015 and 2019, made only a minor recovery with a net gain of one seat. The Labour Party took seven seats, and was able to form an administration with a majority of one. At the subsequent annual council meeting on 25 May 2023 the Labour leader, Claire Douglas, was appointed the new leader of the council.
