Michael Marra, a Scottish Labour MSP, announces he is standing in the Scottish Labour leadership race to succeed Anas Sarwar following Sarwar’s resignation. Multiple outlets report that Marra becomes the second candidate to enter the contest, after Monica Lennon. The Daily Record (Scotland) says Marra positions his candidacy around the party needing to “learn” and “change” after another defeat in the Holyrood elections. Other sources confirm Marra is running to replace Sarwar as Labour’s leader in Scotland, framing the leadership election as a process to select a new leader for the party at Holyrood level. The articles collectively indicate the race is now underway with at least two formally declared contenders, and that Marra’s entry follows Sarwar stepping down from the leadership role. The coverage does not describe further details of the election timetable, voting process, or other candidates beyond Lennon and Marra.
