- Cammy Day resigned as council leader on Monday after he was accused of sending sexual messages to Ukrainian refugees.
Prior to him quitting his role he had been suspended from the Labour Party following the allegations, which were revealed in the Sunday Mail over the weekend.
This now means the Labour group in Edinburgh are running the council with just 10 councillors out of 61, with two seats currently vacant.
The SNP, with 17 councillors, and the LibDems, with 13, are both larger groups while the Greens have the same number as Labour and the Tories are just behind with nine.
