Scottish Labour have increased their vote share in a Glasgow City Council by-election triggered by the death of the party’s former leader in the city.
Malcolm Cunning died in September prompting tributes from across the political spectrum and sparking a by-election for the vacant seat in his Linn ward in the south of the city.
Labour candidate John Carson held the seat for his party, increasing its vote share by some 11.4% from the May council elections, with 2,227 votes.
