Alex Salmond's Alba Party is also staking its claim to seats in Dundee's eight council wards led by SNP defector Alan Ross, who quit the mainstream party in May 2021.
Labour's new candidates include Wendy Scullin, proprietor of Madigan's Tea Shop in Dundee's Castle Street, and BT worker Pete Shears.
The Conservatives are yet to detail their full list of
