Tia MacGregor
The Conservatives suffered embarrassing losses in the city elections - with both their councillors losing their seats in spectacular fashion.
Both Tia MacGregor and Paul Sargent defected from the Liberal Democrats to sit as Independents and then Tories in a high-profile switch that prompted a visit from Tory leader David Cameron.
Neither Mr Sargent or Mrs MacGregor were elected as Tories.
Paul Sargent lost to Lib Dem Stephen Brown and Tia Macgregor lost to Labour's Laurence Baxter.
