Alba said her decision came after increasing disillusionment with the SNP's leadership and its " wavering commitment" to Scottish independence.

Ms Regan, 49, was elected as SNP MSP for Edinburgh Eastern at The Last election and becomes the Alba Party's first representative at Holyrood.

She came third in the SNP leadership contest won by Humza Yousaf in March.

Ms Regan said: " Sadly, it has become increasingly clear that the SNP has lost its Focus On Independence, the very foundation of its existence.

" I could not, in good conscience, continue to be part of a party that has drifted from its path and its commitment to achieving independence as a matter of urgency. "

Alex Salmond , former First Minister and Alba Party leader, said: " I Am delighted to welcome Ash Regan to team independence.

" Her commitment to The Cause of Scottish independence has never been in question, and her addition to Alba sends a powerful message about the focus and determination we bring to achieving an independent Scotland. "

In March, Ms Regan finished third in a contest to succeed Nicola Sturgeon as SNP leader and Scotland's First Minister .

Ms Regan, who had always been regarded as The Outsider in The Contest , tweeted her congratulations to winner Humza Yousaf at The Time and urged everyone to " get behind Team SNP".

The East Kilbride , Strathaven and Lesmahagow MP was facing a selection contest to remain as the SNP's candidate at The Next general election but said She Said she quit because of what she claimed was a " toxic" culture in The Party 's Westminster group.
