City Council of Seville

The City Council of Seville (Spanish: Ayuntamiento de Sevilla) is the top-tier administrative and governing body (ayuntamiento) of the municipality of Seville, Spain. In terms of political structure, it consists of the invested Mayor of Seville, currently Juan Espadas, the Local Executive Board (Junta de Gobierno Local), the deputy mayors, and an elected 31-member deliberative Plenary (Pleno) with scrutiny powers.[1][2] Each district in the municipality has its corresponding executive board (junta municipal de distrito).

Elections

A list of local elections (electing the councillors of the Plenary) since the restoration of the democratic system is presented as follows:

Mayors

The Mayor is elected by the members of the plenary among its members the day the new municipal corporation is formed after the local election, and has a mandate for the 4-year duration of the elected body. If the Mayor leaves office ahead of time a new voting may take place among the plenary members in order to invest a new mayor (meanwhile, another local councillor, conventionally the first deputy mayor, may act as acting Mayor). Until January 2022 the Mayor was Juan Espadas.[3] He resigned to concentrate on his candidacy for President of the Regional Government of Andalusia. He was replaced by Antonio Muñoz.[4]
