John Sharp, the SNP candidate, has won the Elgin City South council by-election following the death of the Independent Councillor, Alastair Bisset.
The SNP claimed 32% of the vote with Independent candidate Mr Simpson 25%, Labour 17% and the Tories 10%. Swing from Labour to the SNP was 6%.
Is this a trend that is set to continue, wiping Labour off the Scottish political map, or is this a result that is unique to the North-East where the SNP tend to do well?
Only time will tell.
