Absolutely buzzed to have had the chance to vote for Kaukab Stewart. It's a shame it's taken so long to reach this landmark, but still a positive step forward for Scottish Parliament. Seems to have a good head on her shoulders too, so hopefully she does us proud!
Aye she鈥檚 excellent, got some really good folk in this Parliament - shame John Mason still exists though.

The first woman of colour has been elected to the #ScottishParliament in its 22-year history. Kaukab Stewart, of the #SNP, has run for election five times having been a campaigner for more than 20 years. The 53-year-old teacher takes over the #GlasgowKelvin constituency seat from the party's Sandra White, winning with a majority of 5,458 over the Greens. She thanked voters, saying it was "an honour" to be the first woman of colour to become an #MSP. Giving her acceptance speech, Ms Stewart, who is also the first Muslim woman to be elected in Holyrood, said: "It has taken too long but to all women and girls of colour out there - the Scottish Parliament belongs to you too."
