In May 2001, after the wrongful dismissal of the council's Chief Executive, 4 Labour councillors, Councillors Campbell, McCafferty, Syme and Collins, rebelled against the party's administration to vote for a no confidence motion in the Council leader, Andrew White. The vote passed 12-10, but Councillor White refused to resign.The Herald (Glasgow): Council call for leader to quit The 4 councillors later left the Labour party to become independents and formed a new administration in August of that year with support from the SNP and SSP councillors. The new Council leader was Daniel McCafferty, one of the rebels.The Herald (Glasgow): Council leader deposed as rebel colleagues vote with the opposition References External links Category:1999 Scottish local elections 1999 Category:20th century in West Dunbartonshire
