MSP Michelle Ballantyne has resigned from the Scottish Conservatives and will see out the Holyrood term as an independent.
The South Scotland MSP left the party nine months after she was defeated in a leadership contest by Jackson Carlaw.
She cited policy differences with new leader Douglas Ross - who replaced Mr Carlaw - saying she and the party were no longer "a good fit".
