- Scottish Conservatives win Aberdeen South, ousting SNP
The Scottish Conservatives won the Aberdeen South by-election, defeating the Scottish National Party (SNP). The loss is attributed to voter backlash against the SNP over Peter Murrell’s theft of £400,000 in party funds. SNP’s Stephen Flynn stepped down from the seat to take a position in Holyrood.
