Nicola Sturgeon's decision to stand down as an MSP was obvious but it still has the capacity to startle, says BBC Scotland political editor Glenn Campbell.

The article discusses the enduring influence of Nicola Sturgeon in Scottish politics despite her resignation as First Minister. It highlights how Sturgeon, who led the Scottish National Party (SNP) for over eight years, remains a significant figure due to her high approval ratings and the lack of a clear successor with similar public appeal. The piece notes that while she has stepped back from frontline politics, her presence is still felt, especially in discussions about Scottish independence and the future direction of the SNP. The article also touches on the internal party dynamics, with potential leadership candidates like Humza Yousaf, Kate Forbes, and Ash Regan being mentioned, but none have yet to capture the same level of public or party support that Sturgeon enjoyed. Her legacy, the ongoing police investigation into the SNP's finances, and the challenge of moving forward without her are central themes.
