The former community safety minister had called on SNP members to be allowed to change their ballots as she said there was significant 'voter regret'.
Ash Regan has said she will accept the outcome of the SNP leadership contest - despite the party rejecting her call for members to be allowed to change their votes.
He took over the responsibilities of longstanding chief executive Peter Murrell, who dramatically quit at the weekend amid a row over the party lying to the press over membership numbers.“And I do feel that by the high-profile resignations that we’ve had from the party over the weekend, that I have been vindicated in setting out that actually what we need is more democracy and a fresh vision.”
Regan insisted there has been a “material change in circumstances” which meant many voters would no longer want a “continuity candidate”. Asked if she will accept the result at the end of the process, she said: “Of course I’ll accept the result, I’ve said that all along.She said she would not take legal action around the election but had taken legal advice.
