In a 52-48% split, Your Party have decided on a collective leadership model over an actual leader.
So both Corbyn & Sultana are out.
A given it's reported there were gasps in the room when it was announced, the vote split is sure to guarantee months of fighting & disagreements over the decision.

This passage from the speech John Swinney delivered in Glasgow today is the most egregious rubbish. I have repeatedly FOIed Scot Gov asking it to identity “low-cost” renewable generation assets in Scotland and it repeatedly fails to do so. Swinney is simply not telling the truth.
