The 1893 Wellington City mayoral election was part of the New Zealand local elections held that same year to decide who would take the office of Mayor of Wellington for the following year.
Background
The incumbent mayor Francis Bell did not stand for a third term and retired. In an open race there were two nominations. Former city councillor Alfred Brandon and sitting councillor Charles Frederick Worth (who had contested the mayoralty twice previously) were nominated.[2] It was held a day before the 1893 general election which completely overshadowed the mayoral election.[3]
