SNP Chief Executive Murray Foote Resigns Amid Party Turmoil

Foote steps down following SNP's significant electoral defeat and ongoing internal reorganization efforts.

Murray Foote resigns as SNP chief executive after 14 months, citing inability to commit to the party's reorganization needs.
The resignation follows the SNP's poor performance in the UK general election, where the party lost 39 seats.
Foote's tenure was marked by controversies, including the collapse of the power-sharing deal with the Scottish Greens and financial mismanagement allegations.
John Swinney, SNP leader, acknowledges Foote's contributions and emphasizes the need for a modern, dynamic party structure.
The SNP faces challenges ahead of the 2026 Scottish parliament elections, with internal reorganization seen as crucial for future success.
