SNP National Equalities Convener Cllr Lynne Anderson to stand in Central Scotland

Lynne Anderson, the former National Equalities Convener of the SNP, will contest the Central Scotland Region at the upcoming Scottish Parliament elections for the Alba Party.

Commenting Lynne said:

“I am delighted to join the Alba Party. As a Councillor and the former SNP National Equalities Convener, I’m really looking forward to a positive campaign reflecting an inclusive and tolerant Scotland. Securing a Super Majority for independence in the upcoming elections is crucial in delivering the fairer independent Scotland we seek.“
