The Conservatives lost control of the council to no overall control.[2] Attempts to form a coalition of the other parties failed to produce an alternative administration. The Conservative leader of the council, Barry Wood, was removed from office at the council's annual meeting on 17 May 2023, but as the council could not agree on a replacement leader the meeting was then adjourned until 23 May 2023. No alternative leader who could command a majority had emerged by then either, and so Barry Wood was reinstated as leader, in charge of a Conservative minority administration.[3]
Green party leader Ian Middleton said this was because the Labour Party National Executive Committee had told the local Labour Party that they could not have any Green or Independent councillors in roles in the Executive.[4]
The Statement of Persons Nominated, which details the candidates standing in each ward, was released by Cherwell District Council following the close of nominations on 4 April 2023.[6] The results for each ward were:[7]
