The 2016 Scottish Parliament election was held on Thursday 5 May 2016 to elect 129 members to the Scottish Parliament
It was the 5th General Election since the parliament was established in 1999
It was the first parliamentary election in Scotland in which 16 and 17 year olds were able to vote, under the provisions of the Scottish Elections (Reduction of Voting Age) Act.
With all 129 seats declared,the SNP has lost its majority and the Tories have replaced Labour as the official opposition
With all 129 seats declared in Scotland, Labour had lost 13 seats - shedding constituencies to the SNP and even the Tories. The party was pushed into a humiliating third place - which makes Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson the official opposition
