The next leader of North Lanarkshire Council will be elected at a special meeting tomorrow; with the current SNP administration facing a challenge from the Labour opposition to retain control of the authority.
Newly-elected SNP leader Tracy Carragher will be put forward by the authority’s largest party for the council's top role, vacated when Jordan Linden resigned last month following revelations that he had made unwelcome sexual advances at a 2019 party.
Group members will also propose Alan Masterton to fill her current role as deputy council leader – but the Labour group, who finished four seats behind the winning party at May’s elections, are aiming to wrest control after saying they have no confidence in the administration.
