Humza Yousaf elected leader of Scottish National party

Humza Yousaf elected leader of Scottish National party: Humza Yousaf, a Pakistani-origin politician, has won the Scottish National Party (SNP) leadership election and will succeed Nicola Sturgeon as First Minister of Scotland. Yousaf, the son of Asian immigrants, is set to become the first person of colour to be appointed as Scotland’s first minister. He defeated Kate Forbes, the country’s finance minister, and Ash Regan, who resigned from the government in opposition to proposed changes to gender recognition.  Humza Yousaf was elected leader of the Scottish National Party with 52% of the vote, and his campaign focused on achieving Scottish independence and addressing the cost-of-living crisis. This follows Rishi Sunak’s recent appointment as the first British Prime Minister of Indian origin. Yousaf will now take over as the leader of the SNP, succeeding Nicola Sturgeon who resigned last month after serving as the party leader for eight years.
