Local councillor Lloyd Melville selected to fight Angus South election.
The SNP has this week confirmed its full slate of candidates for the Scottish Parliament election, which takes place on 7 May 2026.
Monifieth and Sidlaw councillor Lloyd Melville has won his party’s nomination for the Angus South constituency.
The seat was previously held by Graeme Dey MSP, and before him by the late Andrew Welsh – both respected figures in the SNP.
Commenting, Mr Melville said:
“I’m honoured to have been chosen as the SNP candidate for Angus South — the place I grew up, went to school, and now serve as a local councillor.
I know what matters to people here. Whether it’s improved housing, better schools, faster access to healthcare, or help with the rising cost of living, I’ll work tirelessly to deliver for our communities.
People across Angus South can choose a strong SNP Government, led by John Swinney - which is always be on Scotland’s side.
This election is our chance to take a different path — one shaped by Scotland’s values, not Westminster’s priorities — the chance to build a better future with independence.
Over the coming months, I’ll be working hard to earn the trust of voters across Angus South.”
