Alex Rowley has become interim leader of the Scottish Labour Party, following the resignation of Kezia Dugdale.

The Executive Committee of the Scottish Labour Party will meet next weekend, on Saturday 9 September, to agree the timetable and process for a leadership election.

Interim Scottish Labour leader Alex Rowley said:

“Under the leadership of Kezia Dugdale, the Scottish Labour Party is stronger and more united than it was when she took the job, we have a platform on which to build. On behalf of the party, I wish her well.”

General Secretary of the Scottish Labour Party Brian Roy said:

“Over the coming weeks the Scottish Executive Committee of the Labour Party will decide the process and timetable for a leadership election.”
