The directly elected mayor of Leicester is responsible for the executive function of Leicester City Council. The incumbent is Peter Soulsby of Labour.

Background

In December 2010 the Labour controlled Leicester City Council approved plans to give the city a directly elected Mayor with responsibility for all council decisions during their four-year term and for selecting up to nine councillors as a supporting cabinet. The creation of the post was approved by Leicester City Council on 10 December 2010. A referendum on establishing a directly elected mayoralty was not held. The first election took place in May 2011.[1]

Elections

2011

The first mayoral election on 5 May 2011 saw Peter Soulsby elected as mayor in the first round.[2]

Sir Peter Soulsby was elected Mayor of Leicester on 5 May 2011, with a majority of 37,260.[6] In August 2011, he claimed to have delivered 99 out of 100 pledges within the first 100 days of office.[7] He said the remaining pledge, on the future of the council offices in New Walk, would be achieved by Christmas.[7] However he was criticised by opposition councillors for not explaining what services would be cut in future.[7]
