Manchester council election results 2023: candidates and parties who won seats - full list

Here are the Manchester council elections results in full for May 2023.

Labour has maintained its tight grip on Manchester council despite losing seats to the Liberal Democrats and the Greens at the local elections. Left with 88 councillors, the ruling party remains the largest Labour group in the country.

But the party has been wiped out in Woodhouse Park where a third Green councillor won the Wythenshawe ward. The Lib Dems gained two more members, beating Labour in Ancoats and Beswick and Didsbury West. Newly elected Lib Dem councillor Chris Northwood beat incumbent Majid Dar by 335 votes to become the city’s first openly transgender councillor.

Manchester now has a council ward which has no Labour representatives for the first time in years. Three Greens now hold all the seats in Wythenshawe after Anastasia Wiest’s victory in the Woodhouse Park ward, which saw her take the seat from Labour.

Across the city, turnout increased slightly with 25.49 % of registered voters voting. It comes after new rules requiring voters to present photo identification came into force for the first time in all local elections across England. The number of people turned away from polling stations in Manchester is understood to be in the hundreds, but the majority were said to have come back and voted later.

Here are the Manchester council election results for May 2023:
