Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham’s decision not to seek nomination as an SNP candidate for the 2021 Scottish Parliament elections has cast political minds back to her historic victory in a Westminster by-election 26 years ago.
On May 25, 1995, in a by-election called following the death of sitting Tory MP Sir Nicholas Fairbairn, Ms Cunningham was first elected to represent the Perth and Kinross constituency where she turned a 2094 Conservative majority into a 7311 majority for the SNP.
Her win was significant as the area had been staunchly Tory for most years since the 1920s.
