In the 2011 parliamentary elections , Mackay ran for the first time to national elections. In his constituency of Renfrewshire North and West , he won the direct mandate in front of the Labor Party candidate and thus moved into the Scottish Parliament for the first time. In December 2011 Mackay took over the position of Secretary of State for Local Administration and Planning from his party colleague Aileen Campbell . On February 6, 2020, Mackay resigned hours before the Scottish budget was announced after it was revealed that he bombarded a 16-year-old boy with 270 messages after being friends with him on Facebook and Instagram .
