Former asylum seeker Roza Salih said being elected a councillor in Scotland's largest city showed how "the people of Glasgow have always welcomed me".
More than two decades after arriving in Scotland as a refugee, she was voted into office as an SNP councillor for the Greater Pollok ward.
She was congratulated by SNP leader and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who said she was shedding a "very happy tear" at Ms Salih's election.
