Seamus Logan

Seamus Logan (born 4 January 1958) is a Scottish politician who has served as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Aberdeenshire North and Moray East since July 2024. Born in Northern Ireland, Logan became active in Scottish politics in 2022.

Early life and education Seamus Logan was born on 4 January 1958 in Ballymoney, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, to Catholic parents. He was educated at St MacNissi's College, an all-boys Catholic school in the Glens of Antrim. He undertook a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree at Queen's University Belfast. Logan resigned from this position on 30 August 2024.

On 5 July 2024 he was elected as a Member of the Parliament (MP) for the newly-formed constituency of Aberdeenshire North and Moray East, having received 13,455 votes (35.2%) against Conservative Douglas Ross. On 17 July 2024, he made his maiden speech in the House of Commons in the debate following the King's Speech.

In February 2025, Logan was reported to have drawn up an all-female "hit list" of SNP MSPs that were to be asked to stand down from the Scottish Parliament to make room for ex-MPs who had lost their seats in the 2024 UK general election, at the direction of Stephen Flynn, then leader of the SNP in Westminster. Logan claimed that he did not create a list and that he did not know most of the people on the list.
