The Scottish Net Zero Secretary said John Swinney as first minister will unite the party.
SNP members do not want to see a repeat of last year’s “bruising” leadership contest, a senior Scottish Government minister has said.
Net Zero Secretary Mairi McAllan, who introduced Mr Swinney at his campaign launch in Edinburgh on Thursday, said the Perthshire North MSP is the “right man” to unite the party. “I think what the biggest deciding factor has been so far is the stature of John Swinney as somebody who has come forward. Ms McAllan also rejected claims that Mr Swinney is “yesterday’s man”. He previously led the SNP from 2000 to 2004, stepping down after a string of poor election results.
“We are at a situation in Scotland where half the population, give or take between polls, supports independence for our nation.”
