Kenneth Mackenzie is the Sovereignty candidate for Na h-Eileanan an Iar (Western Isles) and in the Highlands & Islands electoral region.

Full statement

Kenneth is a 61-year-old father of two daughters in their twenties, ex-Army in his twenties, has worked as a labourer in Arnish, Harris tweed weaver, firefighter at Stornoway Airport, and is currently a self-employer taxi driver.

He joined the SNP in 2002 (SNP voter since the mid 80’s) after his second daughter was born with the belief, they were the party to guide us to Independence, but left in 2020 after Nicola’s capitulation speech, then joined and subsequently left the Alba Party because of their position on freeports. Having lost all faith in the SNP he is "determined not to reward these gravy train devolutionist's with my vote".

After joining Sovereignty, he accepted our invitation to stand as the party’s candidate in Na h-Eileanan Iar against Alasdair Allan MSP.

Having taken early retirement from Stornoway Airport, and making major lifestyle changes to regain his health and fitness, Kenneth is focus on fighting for his daughters’ future by fighting for Scotland’s future.

“No more GRR crap or the other stuff they put ahead of Independence…” the SNP are currently sitting on the GRR bill waiting to put it through again after the election but Kenneth promises, “Enough is enough". It’s time to send a clear and unambiguous message to the SNP and the Yes movement that Scotland’s Independence is the highest priority if we are to survive this corrupt, gender denying, colonising, thieving UK. We must put people in place who will fight for Scotland’s freedom and prepare the Scottish Parliament to assist Salvo with the decolonisation campaign in the UN, not those who will bend the knee to Westminster as the current devolutionist SNP party are doing.”

“Sovereignty are working with ISP and I4I candidates as part of Alliance to Liberate Scotland, demonstrating the unity Scotland requires unlike the SNP who oppose any other independence parties.”
