Help us to build a citizens agenda: have your say and tell us what issues candidates should be addressing during the by-election campaign in Southside Central ward.

We caught up with Mhairi Hunter after she was announced as the SNP candidate for the Southside Central ward by-election, triggered by the death of Labour’s James Scanlon. The Glasgow City Council by-election date is yet to be set.

Join me as I recount my night at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow for the electoral count, where Squashies and coffee fuelled a memorable experience amid the quiet tension and explosive celebrations of the historic election night.

The Labour Party has clinched a pivotal win in Govanhill, with John Grady ousting SNP’s David Linden in a significant political shift during last week's General Election. Held at Glasgow’s Emirates Arena, the count revealed a dramatic change from yellow to red in Scotland's largest city, marking a broader nationwide trend that saw Labour gain a majority with 409 seats. Voter turnout in the constituency was notably low at 51%, the lowest in over two decades.
