Newly-Elected Msps To Be Sworn In At Holyrood

Scotland’s newly-elected MSPs are to be sworn in at Holyrood, with the parliament also choosing its new presiding officer.

Last week’s election saw the SNP win a landslide victory, falling just one seat short of an overall majority.

The results mean there will be 43 new faces among the129 MSPs in the Scottish Parliament.

They include a record number of women, including the parliament’s first two women of colour.

And the parliament will also have its first permanent wheelchair user to be elected as an MSP, Labour’s Pam Duncan-Glancy.

It is expected that SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon will be formally elected as first minister on Tuesday of next week, and that she will unveil her new ministerial team two days later.
