DAVID KERR TO CONTEST SEAT

Former BBC journalist David Kerr has been confirmed as the SNP candidate
for the Glasgow North East by-election.

Mr Kerr’s candidacy was endorsed at a meeting of the constituency party
this evening (Friday).

Following his overwhelming endorsement Mr Kerr said:

“I'm deeply honoured to be given the chance to serve the people of Glasgow
North East.

“I'll be working flat out between now and polling day to earn their trust
– whenever Labour have the courage to call the election.

“This in area I have a deep affection for. My family first settled here in
the 19th century and lived here for generations, and my early years were
spent in Duke Street in Dennistoun.

“Labour has held this seat since 1935. They've had their chance and have
failed. It's time for a change. Working together, the SNP and the people
of this Glasgow North East have got what it takes to see this community
thrive."
