The Scottish National Party (SNP) politician announced on Twitter on Tuesday that she had left Bute House, the Scottish seat of government, for the last time. “Next stop: The Scottish Parliament votes for Humza Yousaf as Scotland’s sixth First Minister.”

The 52-year-old is stepping down at his own request after more than eight years at the head of the Scottish government. It was popular until recently, but failed to achieve its main goal: the independence of Scotland from the United Kingdom.

The 37-year-old Yousaf has been chosen by the members of the SNP as the new party leader. The election of the head of government to the Scottish Parliament on Tuesday is regarded as a formality. With the previous health minister, a Muslim has taken over for the first time in the northernmost part of Britain with a population of about 5.5 million. (SDA)
