Glasgow Pollok (Gaelic: Glaschu Pollaig) is a constituency of the Scottish Parliament (Holyrood), electing one Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) by the First Past the Post method of election. It is currently represented by Humza Yousaf, a member of the Scottish National Party who served as the First Minister of Scotland from March 2023 until May 2024. He has held the seat for the party since the 2016 Scottish Parliament election.
The constituency is one of eight within the Glasgow City council area. It is also one of nine constituencies in the Glasgow electoral region, which elects seven additional members, in addition to the nine constituency MSPs, to produce a form of proportional representation for the region as a whole.
Electoral region
The other eight constituencies of the Glasgow region are; Glasgow Anniesland, Glasgow Cathcart, Glasgow Kelvin, Glasgow Maryhill and Springburn, Glasgow Provan, Glasgow Shettleston, Glasgow Southside and Rutherglen.
The region covers the Glasgow City council area and a north-western portion of the South Lanarkshire council area.
Constituency boundaries
The Glasgow Pollok constituency was created at the same time as the Scottish Parliament, in 1999, with the name and boundaries of an existing Westminster constituency. In 2005, however, Scottish Westminster (House of Commons) constituencies were mostly replaced with new constituencies.
