Peter Murrell steps down as SNP executive amid membership numbers row
In a statement on Saturday, Mr Murrell said: "Responsibility for the SNP's responses to media queries about our membership number lies with me as chief executive.
"The election contest is being run by the national secretary and I have had no role in it at any point. "Fourteen national election wins is testament to the skills of the dedicated and talented HQ team that I have been privileged to lead."I have worked for independence all my life and will continue to do so, albeit in a different capacity, until it is achieved - and I do firmly believe that independence is now closer than ever."Earlier this week, it emerged that the party had lost 30,000 members in just over a year.
