In seven of the eight Scottish Parliament constituency seats in Glasgow the incumbent SNP MSP is standing for re-election. In Kelvin, long serving MSP Sandra White has retired meaning a new candidate will definitely take up the mantle. Kaukab Stewart is contesting the seat for the SNP hoping to defend a 4000 majority, left by Ms White. She faces Pam Duncan-Glancy for Labour, Partick Harvie of the Greens, Grahame Cannell of the Conservatives and David McKenzie of the LibDems. The SNP candidate is a long time party member and activist, a veteran of many election campaigns. She stood in Anniesland against Donald Dewar in the first elections to Holyrood in 1999 winning 5756 votes losing out the Scotland’s first First Minister who had a majority of almost 11,000.
