29 апр 2024 г. - Humza Yousaf Resigns

Описание:

The search has begun for a new first minister of Scotland following Humza Yousaf's announcement of his intention to quit the role.

He made the decision after spending the weekend reflecting on what was best for the SNP, the government and Scotland.

Mr Yousaf concluded that someone else would need to take over in order to "repair our relationship across the political divide".

John Swinney and Kate Forbes are two SNP MSPs being talked of for the role.

Mr Swinney is a political veteran of his party and was its leader at the turn of the century. He resigned from the post in the summer of 2004 and was succeeded by Alex Salmond.

Ms Forbes was a former SNP leadership candidate, losing to Mr Yousaf in the ballot held just over a year ago.
