John Swinney, serving as First Minister, declared victory early in the count—after just eight of the 129 seats had been announced—asserting that the SNP was on course to remain the largest party “by a considerable margin.” Only minutes before, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar had already acknowledged defeat, as his party’s support fell sharply amid voter backlash linked to Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership.

The US President wrote on Truth Social platform: “Congratulations to John Swinney on winning his Re-Election for First Minister of Scotland. He is a good man, who worked very hard, along with the King and Queen of the United Kingdom, with respect to Tariff relief for Great Scottish Whiskey — and deserves this Big Electoral Victory! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
