The Conservative candidate in the botched Paisley Southeast by-election is still hoping he can secure a spot in the council chamber at May's elections.
Alec Leishman had hoped to get a seat at Renfrewshire House at the end of last year before the ward six ballot was sensationally called off after disqualified councillor Paul Mack re-appealed his ban through the Court of Session.
But he has now announced he will be standing for election in the Erskine and Inchinnan ward when voters hit the polls on May 5.
