Following the resignation of Kezia Dugdale, he served as acting Leader of the Scottish Labour Party during the 2017 Scottish Labour leadership election.

In September 2017, a leaked recording that was taken without permission and sold to The Scottish Sun of Rowley at the Brighton Labour Party Conference led to accusations of a plot to oust Dugdale and replace her with Richard Leonard.

Rowley said he backed Leonard to become leader to a member of the public, as well as party member, in a conversation that turned out to be a freelance journalist secretly recording the conversation undercover.

Rowley had stated he would remain neutral, however was unaware of being recorded by what turned out to be a journalist trying to sell a story.

He apologised for the leaked recording, but strenuously denied being involved in or even aware of any plots within the labour party to remove Dugdale.

On 15 November 2017, Rowley resigned as deputy leader and referred himself to an internal investigation after a former partner took to the Scottish Sun to accuse him of sending her disrespectful text messages four years previously.

Former Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale and leadership candidate Anas Sarwar called for Rowley to be suspended from the party while the investigation was carried out.

Rowley claimed there was a determined attempt to use the media to damage him and his family for political purposes.
