|February 21, 2026

The First Minister and SNP leader made his prediction after a poll projection put his party just one seat short of a majority at this year's Holyrood election.
A survey by More in Common this week projected that the SNP would win 64 seats after May, with Reform and Labour battling it out for second place and the Tories potentially falling to joint fourth with the Lib Dems.
