Former minister David Duguid not selected to stand in election

Mr Duguid said on X, formerly known as Twitter, external, he had been “looking forward to campaigning” for the election and his recovery was well on schedule.

He said: “Notwithstanding this, and despite my having been adopted by our local members, the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party has informed me tonight that they have decided not to put me forward as their chosen candidate for Aberdeenshire North and Moray East.”

Mr Duguid had been the MP for Banff and Buchan since 2017. His election marked the end of 30 years of SNP representation in the area.

He served as secretary of state for Scotland from June 2020 until September 2021 and then again from September to October 2022.

Following a review of boundaries, the seat was expanded to include parts of Moray and renamed Aberdeenshire North and Moray East.

However, Mr Duguid was widely expected to be reselected to stand for the new constituency.
