The Bucks Free Press can reveal Martin Tett is set to be re-elected the leader of Buckinghamshire Council.
The BFP’s sources confirmed Mr Tett will lead the council after its first election as a unitary authority saw the Conservatives sweep the board across the county, taking 113 seats and the overall majority.
It comes as Buckinghamshire Council’s latest newsletter on May 13 was signed off by Mr Tett as leader - despite it not being made official yet.
Just days before the behind-closed-doors meeting of the local Conservatives, we revealed the ones to watch for the top position, with Mr Tett coming out as the early frontrunner.
