Reform UK has announced its Scottish Parliament election candidate for the Cowdenbeath constituency.

Mark Davies will stand for the party when voters take to the booths on May 7.

Polling in recent months has shown Nigel Farage’s outfit locked in a battle to become the second biggest group at Holyrood.

Among its policy pledges is a promise to reduce the number of MSPs by cutting the number of constituencies from 73 to 57.

Mr Davies will go up against Labour hopeful Fiona Sword, David Barratt of the SNP, Conservative nominee Darren Watt, and Liberal Democrat James Calder.
