ALBA Triples Vote in Perth By-Election
The ALBA Party have recorded their best every by-election result in the Perth City North by-election which took place today. ALBA Candidate Robert Reid achieved 6.5% of the vote, overtaking both the Scottish Greens and Scottish Liberal Democrats.
Commenting following the result, Robert Reid said:
"I would like to thank all those who have supported my campaign over the past 5 weeks- both those who came out to vote and all the Alba activists who joined me on the doorsteps."
ALBA Party leader, Alex Salmond said:
“A very good result for ALBA and Robert Reid in Perth City North. His result for ALBA is three times the level of the local elections of only two years ago and he leapfrogged both the Green and Lib Dem candidates. Most significantly of all, ALBA are now polling at the level which will win seats in the Scottish elections in 2026. All in all, a very encouraging night for Scotland in Perth”
