The leadership of the Reform UK group that has taken control of Lancashire County Council will be decided on Monday.
The 53 new Reform county councillors will elect one of their number to the helm of the local party.
Stephen Atkinson, the former Conservative leader of Ribble Valley Borough Council – who defected to reform in March - has already announced he will be throwing his hat into the ring for the role.
