Scotland’s longest-serving deputy first minister has emerged as the early frontrunner as the SNP seeks its second new leader in the space of 13 months.

Nominations are open in the SNP leadership contest as senior figures have backed former deputy first minister John Swinney for the top job.

Meanwhile, a smaller number of the party’s parliamentarians have given their backing to former finance secretary Kate Forbes, who has not yet indicated if she will run.
