Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh is the Scottish National Party (SNP) MP for Ochil and South Perthshire. She was elected in the general election in May 2015 defeating a long standing Labour Party MP. She gained 46% of the vote share and a majority of 10,168 over Gordon Banks who previously served the constituency from 2005-2015. [1]
The result highlights a significant surge in popularity for the SNP, with Sheikh being just one of fifty six SNP MP's to have been successfully elected in the 2015 general election.
