🗳️ A major row has broken out within the SNP after two of the leadership candidates called for independent auditors to be brought in to ensure there are no doubts over the election of Nicola Sturgeon’s replacement ChrisGreenNews reports:
They all said it was important that people knew the exact number of people deciding who becomes the nation’s next First Minister., the chief executive of the SNP, Ms Regan and Ms Forbes said it was his responsibility to ensure the process was “transparent, fair, and equitable”.
The party has so far refused to confirm how many members it currently has and it remains unclear whether this information, as well as turnout, will be given alongside the result. Michelle Thomson, who is running Ms Forbes’s campaign, said some of the concerns about the integrity of the election were “being openly expressed by individuals within the SNP of long standing”.
Kirk Torrance, who is advising Ms Regan, said on Twitter: “Independent auditors will give reassurance to the SNP members and the general public that this ballot is conducted properly. This should have been the case from the outset.”
