due to be held during 2021. It was triggered on 14 January 2021 by the resignation of Richard Leonard as leader of the Scottish Labour Party, having led the party since 2017.

背景

Richard Leonard was elected as the leader of the Scottish Labour Party in 2017 when he defeated Anas Sarwar to win with 56.7% of the vote. In the 2019 European Parliament election, the party lost its two seats in European Parliament for the Scotland constituency, and in the 2019 United Kingdom general election, the party lost six of its seven MPs in Scotland. Scottish Labour figures including Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) had called for him to resign during 2020 over the party's poor performance in opinion polls. A motion of no confidence in Leonard was proposed at the party's NEC but withdrawn due to a lack of support. Leonard resigned in 2021, saying that speculation about his leadership was a distraction from the party's message.

競選

英国下议院馬里議員道格拉斯·羅斯在7月31日宣布參選，隨即獲得露絲·戴維森和前蘇格蘭事務大臣戴维·蒙戴尔支持。羅斯亦表示有意競逐蘇格蘭議會的高地與島嶼議席，承諾當選後亦將會留在下議院。卡羅在選前認為是次選舉應在無競爭下舉行。
