From May 2023, Liverpool Council will have a new leader.
The city council is set to move away from the mayoral model that has been in place in the city for the past decade and will revert back to a leader and cabinet model from May's elections. This means that rather than the people of the city directly electing a mayor at local elections, the new leader of the council will be elected by whichever political group or party has a majority of councillors elected.
As things stand, Labour hold a strong majority on Liverpool Council with 61 seats out of 90. The next largest group is the Liberal Democrats on 11 councillors.
