There was a Scottish National Party leadership election to choose the new National Convener of the Scottish National Party (SNP) in 2000. The election followed the announcement by SNP Leader Alex Salmond, that he would be stepping down as SNP leader in 2000. Salmond's announcement came in the face of internal criticism after a series of high-profile fall-outs with party members.[1] Elections were also held for the position of Depute Leader.[2]
The election saw John Swinney become National Convener, and Roseanna Cunningham become Depute Leader.[2]
