Murdo Fraser Joins Crowded Field for Scottish Tory Leadership

Fraser, alongside five other candidates, aims to replace Douglas Ross with promises of unity and change.

  • Fraser previously ran for leadership in 2011 with a platform to split from UK Conservatives but now seeks to unite the party.
  • Candidates include Russell Findlay, Meghan Gallacher, Brian Whittle, Liam Kerr, and Jamie Greene.
  • Fraser faces accusations of attempting to divide the party despite his assurances to the contrary.
  • Nominations require 100 endorsements by August 22, and the new leader will be announced on September 27.
  • The leadership race follows Ross's controversial decision to step down amid internal party conflicts.
