Douglas Ross has announced he will resign as leader of the Scottish Tories.
He says he will carry on in the role until after the general election and will also resign as an MSP if he is re-elected to Westminster.
It follows a row over Mr Ross standing as a candidate for Aberdeenshire North and Moray East instead of David Duguid, who has been in hospital and was in effect de-selected.
Mr Ross was also hit with Sunday newspaper allegations of irregularities over his expenses claims.
Mr Ross has denied any wrongdoing and says he would welcome any inquiry.
