When Glasgow’s council election results start to come in on Friday, the Langside ward will be one to watch.
Council leader Susan Aitken is the only councillor seeking re-election in the area, and while the SNP picked up 43% of the first preference vote in 2017, Aitken, the party’s Glasgow group leader, has faced a huge amount of criticism.
In 2017, she was elected along with fellow SNP candidate Anna Richardson, the council’s outgoing sustainability and carbon reduction convener, as they took two of the council seats available. Labour and the Greens won the other two.
