Top Story May 9, 2021 EDINBURGH: Vote counting was continuing for a second day in Scotland’s election, with the possibility of an SNP majority on a knife edge. Nicola Sturgeon’s party gained three seats during the count on Friday – the only party to take a constituency from another – winning Ayr, Edinburgh Central and East Lothian. However, uncertainty continued into Saturday, as the wins picked up by the SNP could cause the party to lose regional seats under Holyrood’s system, cancelling out gains made. Labour deputy leader Jackie Baillie held on to her Dumbarton constituency, which had been the most marginal seat in all of Scotland and a top target for the SNP. Ms Baillie had a majority of just 109 in the 2016 Scottish Parliament election, but increased that to 1,483.
