Anas Sarwar MSP nominated by Usdaw to be the next leader of the Scottish Labour Party

Date: 18 January 2021 The retail trade union Usdaw has today decided to nominate Anas Sarwar MSP in the election for Leader of the Scottish Labour Party.
Stewart Forrest, Usdaw Divisional Officer says: “Usdaw members, their families and working people across Scotland need a strong Labour Party in the Scottish Parliament and across the country, speaking out for them on their issues. With the election coming in May, it is crucial that Scottish Labour has a leader who can hit the ground running, bring the Party together and put a positive message to the country. We believe that Anas Sarwar is the right person to do that and take us forward.”

Individual members of Usdaw who are also members of the Labour Party or Affiliated Supporters of the Labour Party are entitled to vote in the leadership election.
