This council by-election, we wanted to ensure that the conversation was not dominated by what candidates/parties wanted to speak about, but by what people living locally actually care about. So we asked you: what do you want candidates to be talking about as they compete for votes. Here are the responses we had from Glasgow Southside central ward candidates.

Glasgow City Council by-elections will be held on 20 March 2025. Read on to find out who can vote, how the counting works, who is standing for election in Govanhill and the 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.

We put 8 questions from our readers to all 10 candidates standing to represent the Southside Central ward ahead of the 5 May elections. Next we have Mhairi Hunters standing as one of the SNP candidates.
