The Scottish Tories must ensure they come out of the ongoing leadership race “genuinely united”, one of the contenders for the top job has said.
North East Scotland MSP Liam Kerr announced he would seek the leadership on Monday, with the field now widened to five MSPs.
West Scotland MSP Jamie Greene also announced his plan to run on Tuesday morning, joining a race that already included Russell Findlay, Brian Whittle and Meghan Gallacher.
But in the wake of bruising leadership contests in the SNP and the Conservatives nationally, Mr Kerr warned of MSPs separating into “camps” once the winner is announced on September 27.
