Two days before the SNP fights for its 16th seat on West Lothian Council its former depute leader Frank Anderson has thrown his weight behind the Alba candidate standing in the Thursday by-election in Broxburn, Uphall and Winchburgh.
Mr Anderson, until May’s election, was the longest serving councillor in West Lothian for the SNP over the last 34 years, initially in Craigshill, and latterly in the multi member East Calder and East Livingston ward.
He was de-selected by the party in the run up to this year’s council election and stood as an independent.
