Humza Yousaf has been named leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP) following Nicola Sturgeon’s resignation.
Mr Yousaf was voted leader of the SNP by the party’s members, receiving 52 per cent of the vote. He defeated rivals Kate Forbes and Ash Regan and, as a result, Mr Yousaf will almost certainly be confirmed as the First Minister of Scotland, after the vote is expected to be confirmed in Holyrood on Tuesday (March 28).
