Current Laval City Council
All 21 councillors were formerly associated with the Parti PRO des Lavallois, the municipal political party of mayor Gilles Vaillancourt.[1] Following Vaillancourt's resignation as mayor on November 9, 2012,[2] the councillors voted to dissolve the party on November 19 and now sit as independents.[1]
Following Vaillancourt's resignation, councillor Basile Angelopoulos served as the city's acting mayor[3] until council selected Alexandre Duplessis, the former councillor for District 15 (Saint-Martin), as the new mayor on November 23.[4] Angelopoulos again undertook the responsibilities of pro-mayor upon Duplessis' resignation on June 28, 2013 until Martine Beaugrand, the former councillor for District 20 (Fabreville) was acclaimed as the city's new mayor on July 3, 2013.
