Waking up this morning with so many congratulation messages has made my day. Thank you Scotland ❤️
I am so happy to be a councillor and that the Tories got hammered across Scotland 🏴 the future looks bright again☀️
For those calling for Sturgeon to resign should give this a read. I am extremely uncomfortable with the way in which allegations of harassment against women by a powerful man have been used to launch attacks. Whilst he gets to play sanctimonious victim.
I am disappointed and disgusted by this image

as a New Scot I am a candidate standing in my city Glasgow. This is a huge change in the way political system has been for many years. Scotland has also given the equal opportunity for refugees the rights to Vote. This is the society I want to live & grow older.

Thank you to members who supported me in Clydebank and Milngavie. Although unsuccessful on this occasion, I am encouraged that I finished in a strong second place. My commitment to the aims of

I am really sad to hear Nicola Sturgeon has decided to resign as First Minister. She has been an outstanding leader & a great person to admire. I am sure many are gutted to hear this news in our party & I hope the next leader would do as much as she has done for independence.

You are a disgrace to the public service with your spread of division and hatred these behaviour of far right has been encouraged. I am sure behind scenes you are happy what you have caused
It’s been a great campaign and I have enjoyed every moment of it. Now I am going to take some time to recover from campaigning and spend time with friends and family. Saor Alba Gu Bragh ✊🏽
It’s not easy to become a migrant. Migrants are brave people who make the difficult decisions to leave their homes. Migration is a human nature.
Embracing immigrants isn't just inclusion; it's an investment in a brighter, future for all.

To clear the record - I have passed vetting & on the SNP approved list for parliamentary candidates but I have NOT put myself forward for any seats in Glasgow. I am focus on delivering for Greater Pollok as a Councillor. I want to thank everyone for their supportive messages.
NEW: Glasgow councillor Roza Salih is hoping to become Scotland's first MP to have arrived in the country as a refugee.
She was elected as an SNP councillor for Greater Pollok last year after fleeing Iraq in 2001.
The unionist parties are afraid of democracy & a referendum because they know this time round Scotland will win its Independence & they just can’t deal with this lose
For Twitter followers. I am taking a few days off on social media. I have lost someone very close to our family. Thank you for all your caring messages.

I am tired of this hostile immigration system that doesn’t reform.
Only independence would give Scotland the powers over immigration and to create that fair asylum system based in Scotland 🏴

she will be an exceptional MP for Scotland 🏴
If you have been fighting racism most of your life then you should be supporting BAME candidates at this crucial time. Standing to be an MSP is not an easy job. I experience discrimination everyday but I don’t talk about it to provide a further platform for ignorant people.
The Media of today needs to be corrected as they do not project the reality of politics. This seat was always hard to win & we knew it from day one. In 2017 this seat was won by Labour & 2019 by SNP so it’s swinging seat. unfortunately due to an MPs behaviour this has not helped!
"The story of tonight I would suggest is probably that Labour are back as a credible electoral force."
