New ward boundaries were drawn up for this election, although the number of councillors remained 51. This election also marked a change in the electoral pattern for the city council. Prior to this election a third of the council was elected at a time three years out of every four. From this election onwards the whole council would be elected together every four years.[2]
Prior to the election the council was under no overall control, being run by a Conservative minority administration. The council remained under no overall control after the election but Labour overtook the Conservatives to become the largest party.[3] Labour group leader Baggy Shanker was appointed leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 24 May 2023, leading a Labour minority administration.[4]
While some have reported Reform Derby as being synonymous with Reform UK, the parties are in fact distinct but affiliated entities.[5][6][7]
