Scotland’s first minister Humza Yousaf is set to resign from his role as early as today, the BBC says. The SNP leader is expected to stand down following the collapse of the Bute House Agreement – his party’s power-sharing deal with the Scottish Greens – last week.

After a short but bitter leadership contest, Humza Yousaf was elected the new leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP) on Monday and will soon take over from the formidable Nicola Sturgeon as Scotland’s first minister. FRANCE 24 takes a closer look at how Yousaf successfully won over party members to clinch the top job in Scottish politics and usher in the post-Sturgeon era, which promises to be a challenging one.
