Humza Yousaf Resigns as Scotland's First Minister
A Setback for the Scottish National Party
Yousaf Arrived at Bute House in Edinburgh to Tender His Resignation
In a fresh setback for the Scottish National Party (SNP), Humza Yousaf has resigned as Scotland's first minister. Yousaf arrived at Bute House in Edinburgh on Monday morning to tender his resignation.
The move comes after a challenging period for Yousaf, who has faced criticism over his handling of various issues, including the cost-of-living crisis and the government's ferries contract.
Yousaf's resignation leaves the SNP facing a leadership contest. The party's deputy leader, John Swinney, is expected to serve as interim first minister until a new leader is elected.
The BBC understands that Yousaf has also resigned as the leader of the SNP.
Conclusion:
Humza Yousaf's resignation is a significant blow to the SNP and leaves the party facing an uncertain future. The Scottish government is now without a permanent leader, and the party must now begin the process of choosing a new one. The outcome of that contest will have a major impact on the direction of the SNP and the future of Scotland.
