Russell Findlay has been elected Scottish Conservatives leader, winning a majority of votes in the first round.
The new leader, a West Scotland MSP, won 2565 votes, the party’s returning officer Leonard Wallace announced on Friday, with Murdo Fraser coming second with 1187 votes and Meghan Gallacher in third with 403 votes.
The turnout was 60%, with Mr Wallace announcing the party has just shy of 7000 members, 4155 of whom voted in the leadership contest.
Findlay has said The Scottish Conservatives must come together after a bruising period.
Speaking immediately after his win was announced, he said: "Everyone must come together as one united team.
"Let us start the hard work right now to win back public trust.
"I want to deliver the message to people across Scotland who do not feel that anyone represents them, who are scunnered by the divisiveness and fringe obsessions of the Scottish Parliament who feel let down and failed by politicians of every single party, including ours, who think politicians are all the same.
"I feel that way – I get it, but I’m not the same."
