A special meeting of Dumfries and Galloway Council (DGC) is to be held after a number of councillors quit the Conservative group which leads the local authority.
It left them with just nine members of the 43-strong council in the south-west of Scotland.
Now a request has been received to hold a special full council meeting which will take place on 16 June.
If it leads to a change of control it would be the third administration to try running the authority in the space of three years.
