flag SNP leader Swinney cites rising support ahead of May election, citing NHS improvements and cost-of-living efforts, despite candidate withdrawals.

flag Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney said the SNP has growing voter confidence ahead of the May election, citing steady polling, improved NHS performance, reduced waiting times, and efforts to ease cost-of-living pressures. flag Despite support in the mid to high thirties for constituency votes and low thirties for regional lists, the party leads Labour and Reform UK, with projections suggesting up to 64 MSPs. flag Swinney linked the party’s vision to independence, emphasizing economic strength, child poverty reduction, and stronger European ties. flag The conference in Edinburgh will reinforce these priorities amid challenges, including the withdrawal of two candidates—Sally Donald over a disability payment repayment order and Stefan Hoggan due to misconduct allegations—though Swinney defended the SNP’s vetting process as robust.
