SNP in crisis: When was the last Scottish election and what were the results? Who won seats?

As the Scottish Government faces a vote of no-confidence, The Scotsman takes a look back at the last Holyrood election

Scottish Labour are pushing to try and get a Scottish election in the diary.

Party leader Anas Sarwar is pushing ahead with a vote of no confidence in the Scottish Government, despite Humza Yousaf agreeing to resign as First Minister. Mr Sarwar says the principle of his no confidence motion has not changed - he wants to see the back of the SNP Government and fancies his chances at the ballot box. 

If his vote wins, it could lead to a Scottish election. There could also be an election if there is no majority vote for a new first minister, as Kate Forbes and John Swinney consider whether to bid for the leadership.

The Scotsman takes a look back at the last Holyrood election and it’s results.

When was the last Scottish election?

It was held on May 6, 2021. Instead of an overnight count, the results were counted over the next two days to allow for coronavirus restrictions. 

If the SNP serves out its full term, the next election wouldn’t be until 2026.

What were the results?

The SNP won the most seats with 64. This was one short of a majority, but one more seat than it won in the previous Scottish election in 2016.

The Scottish Conservatives won 31, Scottish Labour 22, Scottish Green seven and the Scottish Lib Dems four. The turnout was 63.2 per cent, the highest ever in a Scottish election.
