Former SNP leadership candidate Ash Regan has quit the party to join the Alba Party – becoming its first ever MSP.
Ms Regan, who secured just over 11% of the votes when she stood in the race to succeed Nicola Sturgeon earlier this year, said she was defecting from the SNP because it had “lost its focus on independence”.
The SNP’s opponents said Ms Regan’s decision to quit exposed the party as being “divided and chaotic”. “She brings a level of commitment and principle that is deeply admired across Scotland, and I couldn’t be more pleased to welcome her into our ranks.” During that leadership campaign she denied having any intention of joining the rival pro-independence party.
But she said: “Sadly, it has become increasingly clear that the SNP has lost its focus on Independence, the very foundation of its existence.” “He can’t convince even his own senior MSPs to remain onside, even when he’s abandoned all the normal duties of government to focus on independence.”
