The previous election occurred in 2019, and resulted in the Labour Party retaining control with a majority of seats.[1] Both of the city council's previous two Conservatives left the party just ahead of the election to stand as independent candidates.[2]

Labour retained its majority at the election. The Conservatives failed to win any seats on the council for the first time, although one of the former Conservatives who had left the party in March 2023, Andrew Rule, was re-elected as an independent councillor.[3][4]

Councillors standing down

20 councillors stood down at this election, including former Cllr Hassan Ahmed who was expelled from the Labour Party for alleged antisemitism.[5] Plus, there was a vacancy immediately prior to the election in St Ann's ward caused by the death of Labour councillor Sue Johnson in March 2023.[6] Cllr Johnson had already decided not to stand for reelection before her passing.
