SCOTTISH Labour has voted to allow nine Aberdeen councillors suspended from the party to be considered as candidates for next year’s local authority elections
The so-called Aberdeen nine were suspended in 2017 after forming a coalition with the Conservatives, despite instructions from then leader Kezia Dugdale not to do so.
Last year the party’s national constitutional committee said that they would remain administratively suspended from the party until May 1 2022.
