  • Former first minister Humza Yousaf to stand down as MSP in 2026 - He also defended his decision to end the SNP-Greens Bute House Agreement, which ultimately led to his resignation.

Humza Yousaf, the former First Minister of Scotland, has announced that he will not seek re-election as a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) in 2026. This decision comes after his resignation from the position of First Minister earlier in the year, following the collapse of the SNP's power-sharing agreement with the Scottish Greens. Yousaf cited the need to spend more time with his family, particularly after the challenges they faced during his tenure, as a primary reason for stepping down. His time as First Minister was marked by significant political turbulence, including internal party strife and public scrutiny over various policy decisions. Despite these challenges, Yousaf expressed his commitment to continue serving his constituents until the end of his term in 2026.
