Worth noting:
The North East region gained an extra constituency (with Angus split in two) after the boundary changes – hence the discrepancy in the +/- seats column.
The SNP polled over 50% of the regional vote in the North East and also won all 10 of the constituency seats in the region.

North East Scotland Regional MSPs in order elected above:
1. Richard Baker (Labour)
2. Alex Johnstone (Conservative)
3. Jenny Marra (Labour)
4. Nanette Milne (Conservative)
5. Alison McInnes (Liberal Democrat)
6. Lewis Macdonald (Labour)
7. Mark McDonald (SNP)
The SNP’s dominance in the North East was such that, despite taking all 10 of the constituencies in the region, the party still elected Councillor Mark McDonald on the seventh and final D’Hondt list allocation. Lots of returning faces on the North East list from other parties accompany him to Holyrood. Both Conservative MSPs Alex Johnstone and Nanette Milne return for another term while Alison McInnes was one of only three Lib Dem list MSPs elected. For Labour, Richard Baker retained his list seat and Lewis Macdonald swapped his lost constituency seat (Aberdeen Central) for a list seat while Jenny Marra is also one of Holyrood’s new faces.
