History

The regional council of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté was created by the act on the delimitation of regions, regional and departmental elections and amending the electoral calendar of 16 January 2015, which went into effect on 1 January 2016 and merged the regional councils of Burgundy and Franche-Comté,{{cite web|title=Loi du 16 janvier 2015 relative à la délimitation des régions, aux élections régionales et départementales et modifiant le calendrier électoral|url=http://www.vie-publique.fr/actualite/panorama/texte-discussion/projet-loi-relatif-delimitation-regions-aux-elections-regionales-departementales-modifiant-calendrier-electoral.html|publisher=vie-publique.fr|date=19 January 2015|accessdate=23 April 2018}} consisting of 57 and 43 regional councillors, respectively, into a single body with 100 regional councillors, following regional elections on 6 and 13 December 2015.{{cite news|author=Christophe Tarrisse|title=Bourgogne-Franche-Comté : quelle est la composition du nouveau conseil régional ?|url=https://france3-regions.francetvinfo.fr/bourgogne-franche-comte/quelle-est-la-composition-du-nouveau-conseil-regional-883811.html|publisher=France 3 Bourgogne-Franche-Comté|date=13 December 2015|accessdate=23 April 2018}}{{cite web|title=Elections régionales 2015|url=http://www.vie-publique.fr/actualite/faq-citoyens/elections-regionales-2015/|publisher=vie-publique.fr|date=23 November 2015|accessdate=23 April 2018}}

Seat

On 24 June 2016, the members of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté regional council voted in favor of a proposal by Marie-Guite Dufay, president of the regional council, to designate Dijon as the prefecture of the newly unified region and agreed to select the Hôtel de Région at 4 square Castan in Besançon as the seat of the regional council. The previous seat of the regional council of Burgundy, located at 17 boulevard de la Trémouille in Dijon, became the meeting place of assemblies of the regional council. The plan was approved with 79 votes in favor, 18 votes against, and 3 abstentions.{{cite news|title=Bourgogne Franche-Comté : le chef-lieu à Dijon et le siège de la région à Besançon|url=https://france3-regions.francetvinfo.fr/bourgogne-franche-comte/bourgogne-franche-comte-la-proposition-de-marie-guite-dufay-sur-la-repartition-des-roles-ete-adoptee-1033013.html|publisher=France 3 Bourgogne-Franche-Comté|date=24 June 2016|accessdate=23 April 2018}}{{cite news|author=Bertrand Lhote|title=Conseil régional : Dijon capitale, Besançon sauve son siège|url=http://www.bienpublic.com/cote-d-or/2016/06/25/conseil-regional-dijon-capitale-besancon-sauve-son-siege|newspaper=Le Bien Public|date=25 June 2016|accessdate=23 April 2018}}{{cite web|title=Espace services / Contact|url=https://www.bourgognefranchecomte.fr/Contact,1093|publisher=Région Bourgogne-Franche-Comté|accessdate=23 April 2018}}

Executive

= Presidents =

On 4 January 2016, Marie-Guite Dufay of the Socialist Party (PS), who presided over the regional council of Franche-Comté before its merger, was elected president of the regional council. Despite the fact the left held a majority, Dufay was not elected in the first round of the ballot, securing only 49 votes against Sophie Montel with 24 votes and 27 blank votes (the right having decided not to present a candidate), because two members of the Radical Party of the Left (PRG) withheld their support for Dufay in the first round in order to secure vice presidencies.{{cite news|author1=Sophie Courageot|author2=Isabelle Brunnarius|title=La socialiste Marie-Guite Dufay élue présidente de la Région Bourgogne Franche-Comté|url=https://france3-regions.francetvinfo.fr/bourgogne-franche-comte/la-socialiste-marie-guite-dufay-elue-presidente-de-la-region-bourgogne-franche-comte-896091.html|publisher=France 3 Bourgogne-Franche-Comté|date=4 January 2016|accessdate=23 April 2018}} She was subsequently elected with 51 votes in a second ballot.{{cite news|author1=Denis Souilla|author2=Arnaud Racapé|title=Bourgogne-Franche-Comté : Marie-Guite Dufay (PS) élue présidente du conseil régional|url=https://www.francebleu.fr/infos/politique/bourgogne-franche-comte-marie-guite-dufay-ps-elue-presidente-du-conseil-regional-1451925007|publisher=France Bleu|date=4 January 2016|accessdate=23 April 2018}}
