Summary
Leon Marwick, SNP candidate, has won the George Street and Harbour ward by-election in Aberdeen, securing the seat with a swift count and a modest turnout of just 13%. His victory follows the departure of former councillor Desmond Bouse, who moved to Edinburgh and ran in the Scottish Parliament. Marwick praised his team’s tireless efforts and dismissed claims that the SNP’s win reflects a national collapse in Labour support. He sees this as a strong signal for the party ahead of the next council elections, and will now focus on serving his ward as one of three SNP councillors on the council.
