Prior to the 2013 elections, all 21 councillors has been associated with the Parti PRO des Lavallois, the municipal political party of mayor Gilles Vaillancourt.[3] Following Vaillancourt's resignation as mayor on November 9, 2012,[4] the councillors voted to dissolve the party on November 19, 2012, and sat as independents.[3]
Following Vaillancourt's resignation, councillor Basile Angelopoulos served as the city's acting mayor[5] until council selected Alexandre Duplessis, the former councillor for District 15 (Saint-Martin), as the new mayor on November 23.[6] Angelopoulos again undertook the responsibilities of pro-mayor upon Duplessis' resignation on June 28, 2013, until Martine Beaugrand, the former councillor for District 20 (Fabreville) was acclaimed as the city's new mayor on July 3, 2013.
