Opposition (66) The Metropolitan Council of Lyon (French: Conseil de la métropole de Lyon) is the deliberative assembly of the Lyon metropolis, a territorial collectivity with special status, made up of 150 metropolitan councilors.

Created on 1 January 2015, the metropolis of Lyon replaced the urban community of Lyon and, in its territory, the Rhône department.

It exercises both the competencies of a department and those of a metropolitan area.

[1] Since 2020, the city council, comprising 150 members[2] (instead of the 166 originally planned in the ministerial ordinance before its review in parliament),[3] is elected at the same time as the municipal councils by direct universal suffrage[4] within the framework of 14 electoral constituencies[5] according to the voting method applicable to municipalities with more than 1,000 inhabitants.

[7][failed verification] The Metropolitan Council was re-elected on June 28, 2020 and elected a new president, Bruno Bernard (EÉLV).
