The 2011 Scottish Labour Party leadership election was an internal party election to choose a new leader of the Scottish Labour Party. The election followed the announcement by Iain Gray that he would stand down as leader in the autumn of 2011 following the party's heavy defeat to the Scottish National Party in May's Scottish Parliament general election. Gray won the previous contest in September 2008. It was the third Scottish Labour leadership election in four years, the first being caused by the resignation of Jack McConnell following the party's defeat in the 2007 Scottish Parliament election, and the second by Wendy Alexander's resignation. Running concurrently was a deputy leadership election, triggered by Johann Lamont's decision to run in the leadership election. The leader of the Keep Scotland in Britain campaign was to be decided once the outcome of the Scottish Labour leadership election is known. Johann Lamont was elected as leader, and Anas Sarwar as deputy leader. ==Timetable== *6 May: Iain Gray announces his postponed resignation as Scottish Labour leader following the party's defeat in the previous day's elections.〔 *11 May: Ed Miliband orders a review into the full workings of Scottish Labour, led by Jim Murphy and Sarah Boyack. *10 September: The Murphy/Boyack review is published, proposing major changes to Scottish Labour's structures, including the creation of a full Scottish Labour leader to replace the previous post of 'Leader of the Labour Party in the Scottish Parliament'. *29 October: A special party conference is held at the Strathclyde Suite in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall where the changes proposed by the Murphy/Boyack review are officially adopted by the party.
