TODAY will see the swearing in of 36 newly-elected Argyll and Bute councillors, yet the SNP, the group with the greatest number will not be part of the administration.
An alliance of Tory, Liberal Democrat and independent councillors will take control of the local authority, leaving in place the majority of the administration who were in charge prior to the election.
The council will meet to elect a leader, a deputy leader, a provost, a deputy provost, the chairmanship of committees, members of the planning cohort, area chairmanship and deputy chairmanship.
