Leicester City

Following a sensational defeat of Labour in Leicester City at the 2003 local elections, the Lib Dems are the largest party on the City council and are in joint administration with the Conservatives. You can find out more information about the council and our councillors at www.leicestercity.gov.uk and more about Leicester City Lib Dems at their website www.leicester-libdems.org.uk

The Lib Dems built on this success with their by-election win in July 2004. Parmjit Singh Gill overturned a Labour majority of over 13,000 to become the Liberal Democrat's first ethnic minoriy MP. He joins Paul Holmes MP as the second Lib Dem MP for the East Midlands. Find out more about Leicester Lib Dems at www.leicester-libdems.org.uk
