SNP MSP Audrey Nicoll's resignation paves way for Stephen Flynn to potentially join Scottish Parliament.

SNP MSP Audrey Nicoll will step down from her Aberdeen South and North Kincardine seat in the 2026 Holyrood elections. This move clears the path for SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn to potentially run for the seat. Flynn had previously faced criticism for wanting both the MP and MSP roles. Nicoll’s departure is seen as a step towards Flynn’s entry into the Scottish Parliament and possibly as a future SNP leader. First Minister John Swinney thanked Nicoll for her service.
