Scottish Liberal Democrats announce Dundee City West candidate for 2026 elections

The Scottish Liberal Democrats announced today that Daniel Coleman is the party’s Dundee City West candidate for 2026 Scottish Parliament elections.

Daniel Coleman, 30, is from Dundee and has lived in the constituency all his life. He attended St Paul’s RC Academy for secondary education and then studied Law at the University of Dundee, graduating in 2017.  He is a seasoned Liberal Democrat campaigner, having stood for the party on 7 occasions, including in a successful Local Government campaign in 2022 when he was returned as City Councillor for Strathmartine Ward.

Daniel has worked in Holyrood for an MSP and currently works for Angus Council in the Planning Service. He also refereed football in the local area for over 14 years, as well as club secretary for a local chess club. In his spare time, Daniel enjoys watching football, playing golf, bowls and chess and spending as much time with his family as possible.

Daniel said :

“I am looking forward to taking part in the democratic process once again. I am standing to give the residents of Dundee City West a new voice instead of the same old one trick ponies we have had in the city for too long. If you are looking for an end to the populist rhetoric we are currently seeing, voting Scottish Liberal Democrat is the way to go about it.”

“Scottish Liberal Democrats believe in fairness for everyone, no matter who you are or where you come from. We’ve got a realistic plan to get things done.”

“We will deliver first class heath care so you can see your GP, dentist or mental health specialist when you need them. We’ll help you with the cost of living by insulating cold homes and using Scottish renewable energy to cut bills.  We’ll fix our roads, ferries and public transport. We’ll get Scottish education back to its best by expanding pupil support in every school.”

“Liberal Democrats are winning again, with more councillors, a record number of MPs and more to come.”

“Dundee City West deserves better.    And with the Scottish Liberal Democrats, you can vote for it.”
