The East Ayrshire Council election has now concluded and all candidates have now been elected.
Declarations began at the Galleon Leisure Centre shortly after 10am, with a final one coming just after 2pm.
Scottish National Party are once again the largest political party in the council, collecting 14 seats - the same as their 2017 total.
Labour finished with 10 seats - one up from 2017, while the Scottish Conservative and Unionists finished with four seats (-2).
Four independent candidates were elected, which was two more than the previous vote.
The Rubbish Party held onto their solitary seat.
Whilst the SNP have the most councillors (as they did in 2017), they do not have enough to form a working majority.
It remains to be seen whether a coalition will be formed.
