Kenny MacAskill to challenge Ash Regan for Alba leadership

MacAskill said: “This is not a position which I ever sought, and it comes about through a tragedy I wish had never happened.

“But I believe it essential to maintain Alex’s legacy and to deliver his dream of Scottish independence.”

The former SNP MSP and MP said the party should continue to support “radical” policies.

“We cannot allow a drift to the right or pursue a populist agenda pushed by wealthy oligarchs,” he said.

MacAskill also vowed to work to “ensure that Scotland benefits from the natural bounty it has with renewable energy”.

Looking ahead to next year’s Scottish Parliament election, the interim Alba leader said the campaign should be used to “drive” forward the case for independence.

MacAskill defected from the SNP to Alba in 2021 while serving as MP for East Lothian.

The SNP described his departure as “somewhat of a relief”.

He lost his seat in last year’s general election.
