Scotland’s First Minister Humza Yousaf stepped down from his position amid facing a no-confidence motion Monday as the leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP) had earlier hinted to leave the office, according to BBC.
Media reports earlier claimed that he was set to submit his resignation as legislators decided to move forward to dethrone the 39-year-old.
The SNP chief said he had “underestimated the level of hurt after ending a power-sharing deal with the Scottish Greens last week, however would be holding the position until a replacement is found.
The leader expected to face a vote of no-confidence this week. Yousaf has been serving as Scotland’s first minister since March 2023.
He was facing two no-confidence votes at Holyrood after he decided to withdraw from a coalition agreement and try to run a minority government.
Yousaf sacked the Scottish Greens who have now joined hands with the opposition to oust him.
