Douglas Reid declared himself satisfied after the SNP were returned as the single-biggest party within East Ayrshire Council today.
The Nationalists secured 14 seats with Labour in second place on 10 and the Conservatives third with four. Independents, including the Rubbish Party's Sally Cogley, also claimed four as 32 councillors were elected in total.
Ruling as a minority administration before the local elections, the SNP find themselves in a similar position after it and will now speak to other members to see what agreements can be reached.
