Plymouth City Council is the unitary authority for Plymouth, Devon. It has traditionally been controlled by Labour or the Conservatives, with Liberal Democrats rarely winning seats. The council is run by the "leader and cabinet" model, where the leader of the council – normally leader of the majority party – is selected by fellow councillors, who also select the executive, commonly referred to as the cabinet. The leader of the council since May 2018 is Tudor Evans of the Labour Party, and the opposition group leader is Nick Kelly of the Conservative Party.
