Political career

In the Scottish parliamentary elections in 2007 Kelly ran for the Labor Party in the constituency of Glasgow Rutherglen , which his party colleague Janis Hughes won in the previous two elections, but did not run for these elections. Kelly won the direct mandate with a clear lead over the candidate of the SNP and subsequently moved into the Scottish Parliament . As part of the 2011 constituency reform, the Glasgow Rutherglen constituency was dissolved and largely replaced by the newly created Rutherglen constituency . Kelly ran for this in the 2011 general electionand he managed to win the direct mandate again. In the general election in 2016 Kelly lost his direct mandate for Rutherglen to the SNP candidate Clare Haughey , but received a list mandate from the Glasgow electoral region and thus remained a member of the Scottish Parliament.
