Paloma García Gálvez (PP) is the new mayor of Benalmádena after the PP and UCB (Centre Union Benalmádena) joined forces to oust the incumbent Javier Carnero (PSOE).
Javier Carnero had been the Mayor with the support of the IU but was ousted after a censure motion was approved at the plenary session.
Francisco Salido, leader of the UCB, will be deputy Mayor.
