The race to replace Nicola Sturgeon

Nicola Sturgeon’s surprise resignation last month triggered the first election for the leadership of the Scottish National Party in a decade. So, what are the priorities of the three candidates? And - with a row over membership numbers leading the party’s chief executive to resign after giving misleading figures to the press - what impact will the leadership election have on the party?

Scotland's Next First Minister

On our first episode, the three candidates who will be the next SNP leader and First Minister of Scotland are confirmed: Kate Forbes, Humza Yousaf and Ash Regan. Join hosts Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein (Chief of Staff to the First Minister, 2007-2014) and Andy Maciver (Former Head of Communications for the Scottish Conservatives) to discuss the first week of campaigning which has been bruising for some, and difficult for all. Geoff and Andy compare this leadership contest with previous elections and campaigns that they've worked on. Geoff suggests that, if the SNP aren't careful, Labour will be able to campaign against the SNP on the grounds of being out of touch and not standing up for the concerns of people around Scotland. Andy describes the difficulties of the first week as the SNP "arguing in front of the children for the first time." Email us with your thoughts: hello@holyroodsources.com
