Douglas Ross said if he is elected to Westminster in next month’s General Election he will stand down from Holyrood.
Douglas Ross has announced he is stepping down as leader of the Scottish Tories – and will also quit as an MSP if he is elected to Westminster in next month’s General Election.
But ill health meant the Scottish Conservative party management board ruled he could not run – with Mr Ross putting himself forward for the seat last week. Mr Ross stressed he was “committed to fighting and winning the Aberdeenshire North and Moray East constituency”. “Should I win the seat, I will also stand down as an MSP to make way for another Scottish Conservative representative in Holyrood.”
“Voters know that this rotten Tory Government has nothing to offer Scotland – it’s no wonder Douglas Ross has given up on trying to resuscitate the Scottish Tories’ flailing campaign.”
