Nicola Sturgeon should “voluntarily” resign her SNP membership until the end of the police investigation into the party’s finances Ash Regan said ChrisGreenNews reports
She issued a statement later saying she was “innocent of any wrongdoing” and had “committed no offence”, describing her arrest as “both a shock and deeply distressing”.
“There is precedence in the party for people involved in issues of this type to resign from the party voluntarily, and suspend their membership until it is cleared up. “We do have a code of conduct in the SNP, which says members should refrain from conduct likely to cause damage or hinder the party’s aims.The Scottish Conservatives and Scottish Labour are also calling for Ms Sturgeon’s suspension.
Mr Yousaf has yet to comment on Ms Sturgeon’s arrest, but in April he resisted calls for the suspension of MSP Colin Beattie, who was also arrested by police before being released.
