Edinburgh's Labour group is awaiting a decision from party chiefs on whether to form another council coalition with the SNP.
Last week's election returned Labour as the second largest party in the capital with 13 seats, one more than in 2017, whilst the SNP came out on top retaining its 19 seats in the City Chambers.
Together, they are the only groups with enough councillors to form a two-party majority administration – which would be a more stable arrangement than the minority SNP/Labour coalition that's run the council over the past five years.
