Scottish Tories win first Westminster by-election in more than 50 years

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has lauded her party’s win in Aberdeen South as a “significant” result, promising that she will “never stop fighting” for its constituents.

She said the result is “particularly significant” due to the support from those who had “never voted Conservative before”.

Badenoch added her party “is working to earn the trust of the country again”, and is “grateful and humbled” that residents of Aberdeen South voted for the Tories.

“Makerfield was about one man’s job. Aberdeen South was about thousands of jobs in oil and gas across our country and the future of an entire city,” she said.

Amy Cameron, from Greenpeace UK, said “false promises” from the Tories would not deliver a prosperous economic future for people in Aberdeen.

She said a just transition has to be strong enough for people to “let go of the industry that built their community” and “trust that the new economy will be ready to catch them”.
