Ash Regan announced she had left the SNP and joing the Alba Party, set up by former first minister Alex Salmond.
Former SBP leadership candidate Ash Regan has quit the party, to become Alba’s first MSP at Holyrood.
The former Scottish Government minister said: “I could not, in good conscience, continue to be part of a party that has drifted from its path and its commitment to achieving independence as a matter of urgency.” “Having Ash join the Alba Party enriches our team and sharpens our focus on the immediate need for Scottish Independence.
Ms Regan had previously served as community safety minister in the Scottish Government, but had quit that position last year so she could vote against controversial gender recognition reforms as they went through Holyrood.
