LONDON: The pro-independence Scottish National Party (SNP) has won the most seats in elections to the Scottish Parliament, final results showed Friday.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon’s party secured 63 out of 129 seats, not enough to form a majority government, meaning they will likely need the support of a smaller party like the Greens.
The result represents a fall in support from the previous SNP administration when the party had 69 seats and ruled alone in a majority government.
The Scottish Conservatives came second with 31 seats, a major success for a party long unpopular in Scotland, pushing Labour into third with 24 seats.
