Glasgow election results 2022: SNP pip Labour to win most council seats

The SNP have won the most council seats in the Glasgow local elections, pipping Labour at the final ward.

With Maryhill to be announced, both were on 35, short of the 43 - more than half of the 85 Glasgow councillors - needed to form a majority council administration.

But the SNP then won two seats in Maryhill, with Labour winning one, bringing them to a final total of 37, with Labour on 36.

Meanwhile, it was a great day for the Greens, who scored a record haul of 10 councillors.

Susan Aitken, the former Glasgow council leader, has been re-elected to represent Langside - but it was the Greens’ Holly Bruce who came first on first preference votes.

Meanwhile, Elaine Gallagher made history when she was elected as Glasgow’s first trans councillor.

The Tories dropped to just two councillors.
