That's it from us after another historic day at the Scottish Parliament. Here's a recap of what happened.

• John Swinney was re-elected as Scotland's first minister. He pledged to be a first minister for all and said he will work with other parties to achieve common goals.
• All party leaders got their opportunity to make their case for becoming FM. Swinney was elected after three rounds of voting.
• Reform's Malcolm Offord said Scotland deserves a first minister who wants to make the lives of everyone in Scotland better.
• Scottish Labour's Anas Sarwar called on MSPs to work together to take on the politics of fear and blame.
• The Scottish Greens co-leader Gillian McKay said her party won't give the SNP an "easy time of it" despite some of their common goals. She called on Swinney to go "further and faster".
• Scottish Tory leader Russell Findlay urged the FM to put "country over party" and stop focussing on independence.
• Alex Cole-Hamilton said the Scottish Lib Dems would strive to get things done but won't be afraid to say no to the government.

Swinney says he looks forward to working with colleagues on issues which include Scotland’s constitutional future.

He says he recognises there are differences of opinion but argues voters have “elected the largest pro-independence majority in the history of devolution”.

“Independent or not I want to make one thing clear to parliament and to the public today.

“I will work to be a first minister for all of Scotland, a first minister that works to bring people together.”

He says he wants to build a country that acts to heal division and seeks to find common ground and he will "work across party lines" to achieve this.

"I promise to work every day to repay the trust that the people of Scotland have placed in me", he concludes.

Scotland's newly re-elected First Minister John Swinney says it is a "profound honour" to accept parliament's nomination.

He says he realises other parties have their criticisms and is sure there will be many in the years to come.

Swinney insists he is looking forward to working collaboratively to help the people of Scotland and "meet the aspirations" of the people who voted for them.

He goes on to thank his family for their love and support and says he would not be able to make the sacrifices required to be first minister without them.

The SNP leader adds that he feels many of the same emotions today as he did when he first become FM two years ago and that he has ambitious goals for this parliamentary session.

Alex Cole-Hamilton congratulates Swinney on an “immense moment of personal pride".

The Scottish Lib Dem leader says while the question of "who governs us is now settled" his party will still "strive to get things done".

“We sweat the small stuff like who takes out the bins or fills in potholes, but we will also reach out for policy that deals with the big issues of our time," he adds.

Cole-Hamilton says he will take Swinney at his word when he says he will look for consensus, adding: "I will offer that where we can find it.

"But we are not afraid to say no, like we have done many times in the past."

Russell Findlay says he commits to working constructively with Swinney and his ministers when offers are made in good faith.

He says the SNP leader isn't short of people offering him advice but asks the newly re-elected first minister to hear him out with his suggestions.

The Scottish Conservatives leader emphasises again his fear that Swinney will put too much focus into a second independence referendum.

"For the sake of Scotland - drop it, put country before party," Findlay says

"Stop blaming others for the many problems made by the SNP over two decades. Govern for all of Scotland."

He adds that his party will "be honest" about hard choices and "work tirelessly" to hold the government to account.

Gillian Mackay thanks Swinney for the sacrifices he and his family have made to serve the people of Scotland.

The Greens co-leader says: “Our constituents expect us to co-operate where we genuinely share values even if we don’t agree on every detail. But that doesn’t mean this government will have an easy time of it from the Greens.”

She says her party will hold the government to account and ask difficult questions.

Mackay wants to see the government "go further and faster" and calls for action on childcare to come in Swinney’s first 100 days in office.

Reform UK Scotland leader Malcolm Offord joins in the congratulations and says his party will always seek to find a consensus where parties can agree on one single issue which is to make Scotland more successful.

He says he will always seek to support policies that do that but will also take up the role to scrutinise and challenge.

"Let's work together on the issues we agree on but make no mistake, the role of Reform UK will be to drive forward an agenda that makes Scotland more successful and more prosperous and we will support any government that does that," he adds.

Anas Sarwar says the role of first minister is a “great privilege” that comes with “profound responsibility”.

He adds: “To hold that office in such a time of uncertainty brings to the role an added weight and added responsibility."

He reiterates calls for all MSPs to act in the “spirit of unity and co-operation”.

Sarwar adds his party will hold the government’s “feet to the fire” and won’t be shy in speaking up about things they don’t agree on.

“The real rest begins now,” he adds.

Anas Sarwar is the first opposition party leader to congratulate John Swinney after he secures victory and is re-elected as first minister.

If the opposition parties want someone other than John Swinney as first minister, they have the numbers to make that happen - but they would all have to work together and unite to vote someone else.

Tomorrow the new first minister will be sworn in at the Court of Session then they can get to down to business to put together their government.

The results of the second round of voting are:

Russell Findlay - 11

Gillian Mackay - 13

Malcolm Offord - 17

Anas Sarwar - 17

John Swinney - 57

Once again, as no candidate has an overall majority we move to a third vote with Findlay eliminated.

The new MSPs were spotted in the chamber earlier this morning having a training session on how to use the voting app.

This is the first time they've used the system since their election, as the votes to elect the presiding officer were carried out in a secret ballot with pen and paper.

Stand by for some points of order as politicians clarify that the system worked.

After the leaders' speeches, each MSP is now being asked to vote for one candidate.

John Swinney says the election is over, the people have spoken and they have "emphatically supported" the SNP.

He says he will deliver a government with purpose and focus on the issues that matter most in the lives of people in Scotland.

Swinney emphasises that many people are feeling the strain of the cost of living crisis and this must be a parliament and government that "meets the moment".

The SNP leader says he does not want debate but delivery and progress and adds that he is ready to lead a government with clarity, energy and purpose that is always on Scotland's side.

SNP leader John Swinney says the people of Scotland have elected his party with a mandate to strive for Scottish independence.

Anas Sarwar says while the election result was disappointing for his party, he still believes “our politics, our parliament and our country does need to change”.

He adds: “We need a government that will focus relentlessly on things that matter,” such as growing the economy, providing dignity in social care and making life more affordable.

Sarwar adds it is the job of every MSP to “bring our country together and to take on the politics of fear and blame", to avoid creating “opportunities for those that seek to divide us".

He says while people in the chamber may have different political views, that doesn’t mean "we have to dislike or hate each other."

"Call out and take action on wrong doing but don’t generalise, marginalise or demonise," he says.

"I will continue to argue for the kind of Scotland I grew up and the kind of Scotland I want my children to grow up in too."

Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar calls on all MSPs to do "what's best and right for Scotland". He says people on different sides of the political divide don't have to be hated or feared.
