Scottish Labour has won the Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election.
The vote was called following the death of SNP MSP Christina McKelvie, who had represented the constituency since 2011.
Labour’s Davy Russell won with 8,559 votes, ahead of the SNP on 7,957.
Reform came third with 7,088 votes, followed by the Conservatives on 1,621.
The result means Scottish Labour has overturned a majority of 4,582 won by McKelvie in 2021.
She died aged 57 in March after being diagnosed with secondary breast cancer.
