Former SNP leadership candidate welcomed into party by founder Alex Salmond at conference in Glasgow
The Alba party has its first ever MSP in the form of one-time SNP leadership candidate Ash Regan, who has defected from the party because it has “lost its focus on independence”.
Regan’s decision to join Alba – which was set up by former SNP leader and ex-Scottish first minister Alex Salmond – was announced as the party’s conference took place in Glasgow.
