| Description | Alex Salmond has dramatically quit the Scottish National party as he seeks to clear his name of sexual misconduct charges.
The former SNP leader and first minister, who brought the party to power at Holyrood in 2007 and close to winning an independence referendum in 2014, said he wanted to focus on his judicial review against the Scottish government.
In a lengthy statement posted on Twitter, Salmond said he would reapply to the party if he wins and at the same time launched a crowd-funding appeal to help pay his legal costs. |
