Conservative party vice-chairman Andrew Bowie is to quit the role to focus on his Scottish constituency, with the party embroiled in a sleaze scandal.
The MP for West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine told the Tory party on Tuesday he wanted to step down once a replacement was found.
Conservative sources indicated the position would be held open for Mr Bowie should he wish to return, reports the PA news agency.
But in a statement issued on Wednesday, Mr Bowie said he has decided to “take a step back from the demands of the role” and focus on his constituency, where he holds a narrow majority of 843 votes.
Mr Bowie said: “I was honoured to serve as vice-chair of the Conservative and Unionist Party.
“However, over the last few months I have come to the decision that I need to take a step back from the demands of the role to focus on representing my constituents in West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine.
“I formally asked the party yesterday if I could step back from my position and I will remain in post until they have found a successor.”
