Stephen Flynn, the SNP Westminster leader, has expressed his commitment to standing in the 2026 Holyrood elections while retaining his current Westminster seat.
Flynn stated, "I don't want to sit out the upcoming battles that our city, shire and country face in Holyrood. The debates will be many and varied."
He emphasized his aim to help the SNP strengthen the case for independence and tackle key issues such as energy transition, childcare funding, and GP appointments.
Flynn noted the internal SNP rules regarding candidates, reflecting on past instances where MPs had to resign their Westminster seat to compete for Holyrood nominations.
