The SNP are the biggest party in Fife Council following Friday's local election count in Glenrothes. 

The party took control of 29 seats while Labour followed behind with 24.

However, the biggest triumph of the day was the serge in seats for the Conservative party, which returned 15 councillors up from just three in 2012. 

The Liberal Democrats secured seven seats but only picked up one in West Fife. 

Another shock of the day was seeing SNP leader Neale Hanvey miss out on a seat in Dunfermline South. 

Karen Marjoram is now acting as interim leader for the party. 

The results will see all parties in deal or no deal discussion's with each other over the next few days as the SNP try to form a coalition. 

However, if local leader of the Conservatives, Dave Dempsey, is hoping his party might gain some influence with their seats, then he might need to rethink.

 When asked if a Conservative coalition could be possible Karen Marjoram replied: "Over my dead body. I will talk to them but I don't think there will be a coalition per say. 

"An informal arrangement would have to be the very, very, very last choice.

"The SNP and Tories are diametrically opposite to each other. 

"That leaves us with our old chums Labour."

It would be the first time a SNP and Labour coalition take charge of Fife Council, although the set up has been seen in other council's in Scotland including Edinburgh. 

In Cowdenbeath it was a historical day with the Conservatives winning their first ever seat for the ward. 

The SNP's Ann Bain lost her seat in a shock victory for the Tories. 

It was Darren Watt that managed to make history happen coming forth with 1,013 votes. 

He said:"The people of Fife will only benefit from one party not having a majority."

Labour's Alex Campbell retained his seat with a massive 2,065 votes along with his colleague Gary Guichan. 

The SNP's Alistair Bain came up second with 1,415 votes. 

In the newly formed ward of Lochgelly, Cardenden and Benarty, four councillors were elected. 

Labour came up on top with Mary Lockhart and Linda Erskine both retaining their seats. 

They said the people in their communities had huge hearts. 

Both of the SNP candidates, Rosemary Liewald and Lea Mclelland, took the remainder of the seats for the ward.
