SNP announce candidates for 2026 Scottish Parliament elections

The Scottish National Party has published the list of its candidates selected for constituencies in the 2026 Scottish Parliament Elections.

The Chair of the SNP’s election campaign committee, Angus Robertson MSP, described those selected by local party members as “a group of brilliant, talented and diverse candidates” to take forward the SNP’s positive vision for Scotland’s future at next year’s Scottish Parliament elections.

“Under John Swinney’s leadership, the SNP will be offering the people of Scotland the opportunity to vote for party laser focussed on creating a vibrant economy in every part of our country” Mr Robertson said.

He added that the candidates would equally be focussed on “tackling the challenges faced by our public services, and creating a better future for everyone who lives here”.

Mr Robertson concluded by saying: “When people go to the ballot box next year, they can be assured that a vote for the SNP is a vote for a party who will always be on Scotland’s side.”
