All eyes will be on the SNP and Scottish Labour – with both parties treating the by-election as an important battleground ahead of the next UK general election.
Voting has closed and counting is now under way to replace shamed MP Margaret Ferrier. Ms Ferrier was ousted from her Rutherglen and Hamilton West seat in August following a successful recall petition for breaching COVID restrictions in 2020. Voters took to the polls between 7am and 10pm on Thursday for the by-election, with Ms Ferrier's successor expected to be announced during the early hours of Friday morning. Fourteen candidates are battling it out for the hotly contested seat.
Sir Keir Starmer's party is hopeful that a win in Rutherglen and Hamilton West will show that Labour can make gains against the SNP at the upcoming general election, potentially paving the way for the party's return to power at Westminster. Scottish Labour put the cost of living crisis front and centre of its campaign.
