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 A motion of no confidence in Leonard was proposed at the party's NEC but withdrawn due to a lack of support.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.

竞选

英国下议院马里议员道格拉斯·罗斯在7月31日宣布参选，随即获得露丝·戴维森和前苏格兰事务大臣戴维·蒙戴尔支持。罗斯亦表示有意竞逐苏格兰议会的高地与岛屿议席，承诺当选后亦将会留在下议院。卡罗在选前认为是次选举应在无竞争下举行。
