SNP group on D&G Council say they have officially called for a vote of no confidence
It comes after seven Conservative councillors left the party, making the SNP the biggest group.
Councillor Gail MacGregor has been the leader of the Conservative administration since 2023, when an SNP-led rainbow coalition collapsed.
SNP group business manager Councillor Katie Hagmann told ITV Border her party had submitted a no confidence motion that has received cross party support.
The vote is expected to take place at a special full council meeting in the coming days.
In February, councillors voted through the opposition SNP budget.
Councillor Katie Hagmann said the administration was in 'disarray.'
She added: 'We have submitted a motion of no confidence in the current administration. There is likely to be an announcement of a full council meeting and we are calling for the removal of the convener and the deputy convener, which is also the leader of Dumfries and Galloway council.
"It is not acceptable the way that the administration is acting and the SNP group are the biggest group within the whole of the council and this is an snp budget that's been passed.
"We've got business to do, we've got to deliver for the people of Dumfries and Galloway and we're determined to do that."
The Conservative rebels have formed two separate groups.
Councillors Andrew Giusti, Chrissie Hill, David Inglis and Richard Marsh have formed a new group called Novantae.
The three other councillors Ian Carruthers, Karen Carruthers and Andrew Wood, have formed a separate independent group.
A spokesperson for the Scottish Conservatives said: 'We wish them well.'
The rebellion means that the Conservative group shrinks from 16 to nine and raises questions over the viability of the current administration.
The political make-up of the council is now: 11 SNP members; nine Scottish Conservatives; eight Scottish Labour; one Scottish Liberal Democrat; 14 independent / other.
A spokesperson for Dumfries and Galloway Council said: 'Dumfries and Galloway Council can confirm that seven councillors have resigned from the Conservative group. The council's website has been updated.
'Four of the councillors have formed a new political group called Novantae – councillors Richard Marsh, Chrissie Hill, Andrew Giusti and David Inglis.
'Three of the councillors have informed council officers that they have set up a separate group and they intend to call it The Dumfries and Galloway Independent Group. These are councillors Ian Carruthers, Karen Carruthers and Andrew Wood.
'The council will not be commenting further at this time.'

Rochford Council to trial 30-minute free parking scheme
Drivers will be able to park for free for up to 30 minutes in a council's car parks in a move to support local Council in Essex has agreed to try out the free parking scheme at most of its 11 car parks for the next three months "to help boost footfall".The council's leader, Conservative Danielle Belton, said the decision was something requested by business and residents "for a number of years".According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, a meeting of the council's economic development, regeneration, and tourism committee heard the trial could cost the authority up to £42,000 for the three month period. Belton said it could also help with parking issues around schools, as parents could use short-term free spaces at drop off and pick up to council documents, the cost of a 30-minute stay in most surface car parks in the district was reduced last year from 70p to 55p in an effort to stimulate activity on the high said: "Ultimately, the council is dedicated to supporting our local businesses and especially the town centres, and it's a documented fact in other towns that short stay parking can help boost footfall. She added the council had built up more money from the car parks than it had spent, meaning it now had reserves to implement the new policy."The end goal is we see a better footfall in the town, which then creates more of a drive for other businesses to consider coming here, if they see we've offerings where people can pop into town, grab a coffee, grab a takeaway, do some errands, whatever it may be."The free parking will not apply to The Approach near Rayleigh Train Station and Hockley Woods Car Park.

Trump responds to Swinney's new plan for independence vote
The First Minister said the precedent set by the SNP's 2011 election victory, when they won an unprecedented majority in Holyrood, would break the 'logjam'. He said there should be a 'legal referendum recognised by all' on Scottish independence if the SNP manages the same feat at next year's Holyrood election. 'We demonstrated how we break the logjam in the past, by electing a majority of SNP MSPs in 2011, and that led to an independence referendum in 2014,' he told reporters. He invited supporters of independence to back his party in the constituency vote and to 'demand independence' in the regional vote. READ MORE Bagpipes, ballrooms and bluster: the day Trump came to Turnberry Donald Trump says he has 'alternative' plans for Gaza during visit to Scotland 'Scotland is a part of the world I want to thrive', says Donald Trump Asked about the plan during a press conference at Turnberry, the President said he did not want to 'get involved' in Britain's domestic politics. 'We got enough politics of our own,' he added. The US commander-in-chief claimed he had correctly predicted the result of the 2014 referendum, in which 55% of Scots voted No to independence. He also referred to the suggestion that such a referendum could only take place once in a generation. He told journalists: 'I do say that when they made that deal, somebody said that it was – and I remember this very distinctly, I said, 'Could they do this all the time?' – there was a little bit of a restriction, like 50 or 75 years before you could take another vote. Because, you know, a country can't go through that too much.' Mr Trump said he did not know Mr Swinney, but added: 'I've spoken to him. I hear very good things about him, and I'm meeting him today, so maybe I'll have a better opinion then.' Meanwhile, Sir Keir Starmer insisted Scotland was better off within the UK. The Prime Minister told journalists: 'I believe in a stronger Scotland in a better United Kingdom. I think that at a time like this, when it's quite clear that there's uncertainty and volatility around the world, the strength of the United Kingdom together is very important for all four nations – very important for Scotland. 'That should be our priority, that should be our focus – not on the politics which feels like the politics of yesteryear now, at a time like this. 'I think the First Minister should probably focus more on his delivery in Scotland than on his constitutional issues, and we might have a better health service in Scotland. 'At a time like this, I think the United Kingdom is always stronger as four nations. I think that's better for all four nations. I think that's how Scotland is stronger.' Mr Swinney's proposal has also been criticised by other independence supporters. Scottish Greens leadership contender Ross Greer calling it "a plan for self-preservation by the [[SNP]]", not a strategy for independence. Mr Swinney and Sir Keir both attended a dinner with the President in Aberdeenshire on Monday evening.

Donald Trump says he's heard ‘great things' about John Swinney
The US President suggested a country 'can't go through that too much' when asked about the prospect of a second referendum on Scottish independence – mentioning a wait of more than 50 years between votes. Mr Trump spoke to journalists at his Turnberry golf course in South Ayrshire on Monday, alongside Sir Keir Starmer. Later on Monday he is expected to meet First Minister and SNP leader Mr Swinney, with the pair holding more formal talks on Tuesday as Mr Trump prepares to open a new golf course in Aberdeenshire. Mr Swinney had earlier been emphasising his party's desire for a second vote on Scotland's place in the UK, saying an SNP majority at next year's elections should trigger another referendum. At the press conference, Mr Trump said he had correctly predicted the result of the referendum in 2014, where 55% voted No to independence – but said 'I don't want to get involved in politics, we got enough politics of our own'. The US President also referred to the suggestion that such a referendum could only take place once in a generation. He told journalists: 'When they made that deal, somebody that it was… 'I remember this very distinctly, I said 'do they do this all the time?' 'There was a little bit of a restriction, like 50 or 75 years, before you could take another vote because, you know, a country can't go through that too much.' Mr Trump said he did not know Scottish First Minister John Swinney, but added: 'I heard great things about him, and I'm meeting him today, so maybe I'll have a better opinion.' Meanwhile, Sir Keir Starmer insisted Scotland was better-off within the UK. The Prime Minister said: 'I think that at a time like this when it's quite clear that there's uncertainty and volatility around the world, the strength of the United Kingdom together is very important for all four nations, very important for Scotland, and that should be our priority.' Mr Swinney 'should probably focus more' on delivery in Scotland than constitutional issues, Sir Keir added. Earlier, Mr Swinney said the precedent set by the SNP's 2011 election victory would break the 'logjam' towards a second independence referendum. The First Minister said there should be a 'legal referendum recognised by all' on Scottish independence if the SNP secures a majority at the Holyrood elections. Previously, he has said a 'democratic majority' of pro-independence MSPs after next year's Scottish Parliament elections should pave the way to a new vote on the constitutional question. He spoke to journalists further at the Kelpies statues near Falkirk, saying: 'The necessity of independence is absolutely paramount and we've got to make that case in the 2026 Scottish Parliament elections. 'But there's a logjam and we've got to break that logjam. 'We demonstrated how we break the logjam in the past, by electing a majority of SNP MSPs in 2011, and that led to an independence referendum in 2014.' Since the Brexit vote in 2016, repeated prime ministers have rebuffed the SNP's calls for another Scottish independence referendum. Scottish Conservative deputy leader Rachael Hamilton said: 'John Swinney is like a broken record. In a bid to silence internal critics of his weak leadership, he has thrown diehard nationalists some more red meat on the one issue they all agree on: independence. 'Ordinary Scots are sick and tired of the SNP's obsession with breaking up the UK. 'The public want John Swinney to focus on fixing the damage his Government has done in decimating essential services such as schools and the NHS at the same time as making Scotland the highest-taxed part of the UK.' Scottish Labour deputy leader Jackie Baillie said: 'This SNP Government has lost its way and ran out of ideas – while one in six Scots suffer on an NHS waiting list. 'Despite that, John Swinney can't end his own obsession with division and today has confirmed he'll put Scots second to appease his own party. 'From the crisis in our NHS to the violence in our schools, the SNP has left every institution in Scotland weaker. 'This is not as good as it gets and in 2026 Scotland will have a chance to put a stop to SNP decline and vote for a fresh start.' Alex Cole-Hamilton, leader of the Scottish Liberal Democrats, said: 'At last year's election the SNP took an almighty beating because people were tired of them obsessing over one issue. It seems like John Swinney is a glutton for punishment. 'Perhaps rather than focusing on what the SNP membership cares about, he should focus on what the country needs.'
