Breaking News!

Humza Yousaf, Scottish Health Secretary, has been elected as the new leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP).

Yousaf will succeed Nicola Sturgeon, who announced her resignation earlier this year. As the newly elected leader of the SNP, Yousaf is expected to become Scotland's first minister in the coming weeks, pending a vote in the Scottish Parliament.

Yousaf, a member of the Scottish Parliament for Glasgow Pollok, has served as health secretary since 2021. He is known for his progressive views and his support for Scottish independence.

Yousaf's election is a significant event in Scottish politics. The SNP has been in power in Scotland since 2007, and Yousaf will be the party's third leader during that time. His election is likely to have a major impact on the future of the Scottish independence movement.
