The 39-year-old was facing two votes of confidence following the collapse of the SNP's powersharing deal with the Scottish Greens last week.
Scotland 's First Minister, Humza Yousaf , has confirmed he will step down from his post after a tumultuous few days of cross-party fighting, ITV News Political Correspondent Jasmine Cameron-Chileshe reports
It comes after days of tumultuous fighting cross-party following the collapse of a power-sharing deal between the SNP and Scottish Greens on Thursday. Mr Yousaf was facing a vote of confidence, tabled by the Scottish Conservatives, while Scottish Labour tabled one for the Scottish Government as a whole.He described it as an “honour” to have served as Scotland’s First Minister.
He said he was giving “active consideration” to running for the job, adding: "It’s likely I’ll have more to say on that in the days to come.”Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar has said there must be a Scottish election following Mr Yousaf’s resignation. He thanked Mr Yousaf for his public service and wished him and his family the best for the future.
“For most people, they don’t want to be distracted by the ins and outs of politics, they want to see their governments working together to deliver on their priorities.”Support for the SNP declined after the party backed legislation to make it easier for people to change their gender, and implemented a hate crime law that made transgender identity a protected characteristic, even though the same protections weren’t given to all women.
He had been elected to succeed the operation after Nicola Sturgeon resigned from the position in March last year, becoming the sixth first minister.
