Nicola Sturgeon celebrates 'historic and extraordinary' SNP election win With all the results in, the SNP finished on 64 seats - one short of a majority but one more than it won in 2016 BBCElections
The SNP, which formed a minority government after the last election in 2016, had hoped that winning another majority in this election would further strengthen its calls for a second referendum on Scottish independence to be held.
However, the Alba Party - which was formed by former SNP leader and first minister Alex Salmond - will not win any seats. Some will be slightly disappointed at not achieving a majority. But the fact there is a comfortable pro-independence majority means the issue is going to continue to be a significant one in Scottish and UK politics for years.
The SNP won two seats from Labour and one from the Conservatives in the constituency results that were declared on Friday.
