John Swinney is re-elected as Scotland’s First Minister after the SNP retains control of the Scottish Parliament in this month’s election. Multiple outlets report that MSPs vote to return the SNP leader to the top role in Holyrood, confirming he will continue as First Minister. Following the parliamentary vote, Swinney is expected to be formally sworn in, with BBC News reporting the swearing-in takes place on Wednesday. Other coverage describes him as ready to begin working in the role, including statements that he intends to “get on with the job” and to work to “repay the trust” of the people of Scotland. Sources also note that the formal process follows the vote in Parliament, after which Swinney will choose a new cabinet. Overall, the reporting converges on the same sequence: the SNP’s election result secures its position in Holyrood, MSPs reappoint Swinney as First Minister, and he then proceeds to take the oath and form the next government team.
