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.
