Nicola Sturgeon has been party leader and First Minister of Scotland since November 2014 after Alex Salmond resigned following the vote against Scottish Independence in the referendum.
Last year she saw here party sweep to an historic General Election victory in Scotland winning 56 of the 59 seats at Westminster.
That followed on from the party winning a majority in the Scottish Parliament election of 2011, something that many commentators believed could never be achieved under the voting system for Holyrood.
Her Government is defending a record which includes the controversial merger of Scotland’s police and fire services into national bodies.
On health critics will point to the struggle to meet waiting time targets in Accident and Emergency departments across Scotland.
Tax has been a central issue in the early stages of the election campaign.
Nicola Sturgeon has said she will not pass on the increase in the threshold for 40% rate income tax from ÂŁ43,000 to ÂŁ45,000 announced by the Chancellor in his budget in March saying it would raise 1 billion pounds in extra revenue.
However she has resisted calls for an immediate return to a 50% tax rate for people earning over ÂŁ150,000 saying it would not be an effective way of raising revenue.
Many local authorities have criticised Finance Secretary John Swinney’s move to maintain the Council Tax freeze for the year ahead, but that will end in 2017 when local authorities will be able to increase all bills by up to 3% with owners of properties in Band E and above paying extra on top. The party says it will raise £100m to invest in education.
