Labour MSP Foysol Choudhury suspended over inappropriate conduct claim

Scottish Labour MSP Foysol Choudhury has been suspended by the party over an allegation of inappropriate conduct.

Choudhury, who has represented Lothian as an MSP for Labour since 2021, will sit as an independent while a party investigation is carried out.

A Labour spokesperson said: “The Labour Party takes all complaints seriously.

“They are fully investigated in line with our rules and procedures, and any appropriate action is taken.”

It is understood Choudhury has been “administratively suspended” following a complaint against him.

Commenting on the suspension, SNP MP Kirsty Blackman said Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar “must urgently come clean on the reasons why yet another Labour Party MSP has been suspended”.

Bangladeshi-born Choudhury is chairman of the Edinburgh and Lothians Regional Equality Council.

He was one of the founding directors and is vice chairman of the multi-cultural festival Edinburgh Mela.
