| Info | "Douglas Henderson has been a lifelong nationalist. He was President of Edinburgh University Nationalist Club in his student days and subsequently held virtually every office at branch and constituency level in the years that followed. He was a Vice-Chairman of the Party and eventually Senior Vice-Chairman (now described as Depute leader). He was MP for East Aberdeenshire from 1974-79,having won two elections to the seat in 1974. During his five and a half years in the House of Commons he was SNP Chief Whip and then Spokesman on Employment and Industry,to which he brought his extensive experience as a management consultant. He fought the seat again in 1983 losing by less than 1000 votes. A prolonged period of misdiagnosed illness sidelined him from active politics until he had a major operation in 1998 for cancer. After several months of chemotherapy he was given the All Clear and since then he has resumed active duty for the Party,standing as a Euro-candidate in 2004 and now embarked on winning the Dumfries and Galloway seat for which he has been selected for next year's Westminster Election."
