The Scottish Tory leader has faced criticism after he announced his candidacy in the Aberdeenshire North and Moray East constituency last week after David Duguid was blocked over health concerns.
Douglas Ross ’s position as Scottish Tory leader has been “significantly undermined” after he chose to stand as a General Election candidate over an ill colleague, John Swinney has said.
Ross previously said he would not contest his seat at the General Election, instead promising to focus on his MSP role and leadership responsibilities. “Douglas Ross has no credibility whatsoever – he has been telling us all that he wants to be leader of the Scottish Conservative Party so that he can become the first minister of Scotland.
“Everyone wishes David well in his continued recovery and looks forward to his return to frontline politics. Join our General Election 2024 WhatsApp community You'll receive daily updates and breaking news alerts straight to your mobile phone. Simply click here or scan the QR code above to join.
