This confirms the SNP’s previous plans to run the North Ayrshire Council as a minority party, without coalitions formed by themselves or anyone else.
New leader Marie Burns will replace former leader and current adviser to Scottish Labor and Kilvingen cooperatives Joe Cullinan. She thanked the outgoing head for his work.
She said: “In particular, in the last two years, he has taken us through the difficult times of Kovid and recovery.”
Sean Macaulay will take on the role previously played by John Bell of the Scottish Labor Party.
