Yousaf made history becoming the first none-white and first Muslim leader in Scotland, a little more than a year ago.

“I cannot tell you what an honour it is being the first minister of the country I love, the country I’m raising my family in and the only country I will ever call home,” Yousaf said from Bute House, the official residence of the first minister.

Yousaf, 39, was the leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP).

He faced votes of no confidence after ending the SNP’s power sharing agreement with the Scottish Greens last Thursday.

Scotland’s coalition government collapsed following a bitter row over the Scottish government’s decision to abandon a major carbon emissions target.

The Bute House Agreement saw the Scottish Greens brought into government for the first time in 2021.
