A former aide to Alex Salmond has backed the SNP to restart its leadership election ballot in the name of "transparency and legitimacy".
The party was plunged into chaos over the weekend after Murrell, the husband of Nicola Sturgeon, dramatically quit as chief executive with immediate effect on Saturday. Mutch said: "If you have the chief executive of an organisation that's holding a leadership ballot resign in the throes of it, there are legitimate questions," he told BBC Radio Scotland.
Asked if he knew the total members of the party before last week's announcement, Russell continued: "No, I didn't. They are simply reported every year. Kate Forbes, the third candidate aiming to replace Sturgeon, claimed yesterday that decisions within the SNP had been made by "too few people".
