Similar to the last election in 2017, the Scottish National Party (SNP) won the most seats and formed a minority administration.[2] After the election, the SNP reached a working agreement with the Scottish Greens, reflecting the similar nature to the co-operation agreement in the Scottish Government but the difference being that they would not form part of the administration.[3]

Background

Composition

Since the previous election, several changes in the composition of the council occurred. Most were changes to the political affiliation of councillors including SNP councillors Glenn Elder, Russell Robertson, Michael Cullen and Elspeth Kerr and Green councillor Martin Bartos who resigned from their respective parties to become independents.[4][5][6][7] Labour councillor Anne McTaggart defected and joined the SNP[8] and Conservative councillor Tony Curtis resigned from the party before he was disqualified from the council for not attending a meeting in six months.[9] Labour councillor Jim Coleman was also disqualified for not attending a meeting in six months.[10]

SNP councillors Michelle Ferns and John Letford defected to the Alba Party.[11][12][13] Three by-elections were held and resulted in a Labour hold, a Labour gain from Conservative and an SNP gain from Labour.[14][15] Labour councillor Gary Gray died in February 2022 which left a vacancy on the council which would not be filled as it was less than six months before the election.[16]
