The new leader of Scottish Labour is Michael Marra, who secured 4,266 votes from party members. He takes over after Anas Sarwar stood down in July to join Andy Burnham's government in the House of Lords. Marra now heads a group of only 17 MSPs, which places them as the joint second-biggest party in Holyrood.
