SNP's Humza Yousaf Faces Two No-Confidence Motions, Vows to Lead Party into Election
Humza Yousaf is under pressure to resign as First Minister of Scotland after two no-confidence motions were submitted against him and his government within 24 hours.
The motions were triggered by Yousaf's decision to end the SNP's governing agreement with the Scottish Greens, resulting in intense speculation about his leadership.
The deciding vote in the Scottish Parliament now rests with one woman, Ash Regan, who previously defected to Alex Salmond's Alba party after losing the SNP leadership race to Yousaf last March.
Yousaf has vowed to stay in office and lead the SNP into the upcoming general election.
Scottish First Minister Yousaf expressed confidence in facing a vote of no confidence and announced plans for a general election in 2026, along with Scottish parliament elections.
He also reached out to the Scottish Greens, acknowledging their anger after terminating the Bute House agreement, but maintained that the decision was necessary.
A Scottish politician expressed frustration over his party's unpopular Green policies and planned to speak with the Green co-leaders about the issue.
The Green leaders had previously criticized him for being weak and giving in to the right of his party.
The politician acknowledged their feelings and sought to address the situation.
