Two former pupils of Hutchesons' gained seats as new MPs in the General Election of Thursday 6 May.

Anas Sarwar (C2001) has been elected Labour MP for Glasgow Central with a majority of 10,500, succeeding his father Mohammed Sarwar, who was elected as the first British Muslim MP in 1997.
With 231 new MPs turning up at the House of Commons for the first time this week, Adam Fleming (C1998), a reporter for The Daily Politics on BBC 2 found out what's in store for them at their new place of work. Watch it here!
John Mason (C1975) lost the Glasgow East seat he won for the SNP last summer and Adrian Cruden (C1981) stood as a Green Party candidate for Dewsbury in a seat narrowly taken by the Conservatives. Adrian came sixth out of seven candidates.
