Tom Tugendhat's team mistakenly announced support from a fictional MSP, instead of the actual Alexander Stewart, highlighting a minor blunder in a high-stakes campaign.
The original press release boasted Tugendhat's unique engagement with Scottish Conservative Party members, but the mix-up with names showcased a slip in campaign professionalism.
Despite the embarrassment of the typo, sources emphasized that such mistakes are commonplace and noted Tugendhat's significant backing from 10 out of 31 Scottish Conservatives.
The blunder, while minor, underscores the importance of clarity in political communications, particularly when announcing endorsements during a competitive leadership race.
