Peterhead councillor Alan Buchan has been chosen as the Brexit Party’s prospective candidate for Banff and Buchan.
Born in the north-east and brought up in Peterhead, Mr Buchan has spent the last 12 years as an independent Aberdeenshire councillor for Peterhead North and Rattray.
He said: “The foremost policy of the Brexit Party is to uphold the democratic will of the people of the UK who voted for a complete and clean break from the EU.”
