Scotland's First Minister, Humza Yousaf, has resigned as his chances of winning a crucial vote of confidence this week appeared dim. Yousaf will step down after a leadership election in his Scottish National Party (SNP). On April 25, Yousaf's Scottish National Party (SNP) ended a power-sharing deal with the Green Party, hoping to lead a minority government, but opposition parties have tabled a no-confidence motion. With the Greens unwilling to back him, Yousaf faces mounting pressure amid a leadership crisis and declining support for his Scottish National Party (SNP) after a funding scandal and internal divisions over the party's progressive agenda. Yousaf has said that repairing frayed ties with the country’s opposition parties could “only be done with someone else at the helm.” In an emotional speech, Yousaf said that he is "not willing to trade values and principles" with "whomever simply to retain power".
