Anas Sarwar ‘not yet’ First Minister candidate
Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar
SCOTTISH Labour leader Anas Sarwar has conceded that he is “not yet” a candidate to be first minister.
Mr Sarwar said he does not believe he can “turn around the decline of the Labour Party in Scotland for the last 20 years” before the May 6 Holyrood election, adding that he is “not naive about the scale of the challenge” he faces.
Support for Scottish Labour declined in the aftermath of the 2014 independence referendum, during which it worked with the Conservatives in the Better Together campaign.
