Overview
Prior to the election the council was under no overall control, being led by a Conservative minority administration. The election in the Frimley Green ward was postponed until 15 June 2023 following the death of one of the original candidates.{{Cite web |last=Caulfield |first=Chris |date=2023-04-24 |title=Well-loved mum and Surrey election candidate has passed away |url=https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-news/well-loved-frimley-green-election-26767846 |access-date=2023-05-06 |website=SurreyLive |language=en}}NOTICE OF CANCELLED ELECTION, Surrey Heath Borough council returning officer. Of the seats where elections were held on 5 May, the Liberal Democrats won 21 seats, enough to give them an overall majority on the council for the first time in its history.{{cite news |title=Surrey election results 2023: Conservatives lose seats across the county |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-65495474 |access-date=19 July 2023 |work=BBC News |date=5 May 2023}}
The Liberal Democrat group leader before the election, Sashi Mylvaganam, was a candidate in Frimley Green ward and so had to wait until 15 June to see if he would be re-elected. As such, the party chose David Whitcroft instead to be the new leader of the council, being appointed at the subsequent annual meeting of the council on 17 May 2023.{{cite web |title=Annual Full Council 2023 - Leader and Executive announced |url=https://www.surreyheath.gov.uk/news/2023/annual-full-council-2023-leader-and-executive-announced |website=Surrey Heath Borough Council |access-date=19 July 2023}} The Liberal Democrats won all three seats in the postponed Frimley Green election, with Sashi Mylvaganam returning to the council. The party then reconsidered its leadership, but chose to appoint neither Whitcroft nor Mylvaganam as its leader, appointing instead Shaun Macdonald. He was subsequently confirmed as the new leader of the council on 28 June 2023.{{cite news |last1=Caulfield |first1=Chris |title=Surrey Heath leader announced as councillor who's worked just 58 days |url=https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-news/surrey-heath-leader-announced-councillor-27210184 |access-date=19 July 2023 |work=Surrey Live |date=28 June 2023}}
