The election of Scotland’s first top political leader from an ethnic minority background has been hailed as a “significant moment” and a step forward in ensuring fair representation in a diverse society.

Humza Yousaf will be the first person from an ethnic minority background to be the nation’s first minister and the first Muslim to lead the country – as well as the youngest ever first minister.
