Aberdeenshire North and Moray East is a proposed constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament.[1] Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, it will first be contested at the 2024 general election.

History

Following a significant illness and period in hospital, incumbent MP David Duguid was informed that he had not been selected as the Conservative candidate on the evening of 5 June 2024. This was in spite of being previously selected by his local constituency association and indicating he was fit to stand.[2]

Although he had previously said that he was stepping down from Westminster, Douglas Ross announced that he would be the candidate on the morning of the 6 June, with nomination deadline falling on 7 June.[3]
