Graeme McCormick's decision not to pursue a party leadership bid leaves John Swinney as the only official candidate to succeed Humza Yousaf after he announced he is stepping down.
John Swinney appears set to become Scotland's next first minister after Graeme McCormick pulled out of the race to become SNP leader. Mr McCormick's decision not to pursue a leadership bid leaves Mr Swinney as the only official candidate after Humza Yousaf announced he is stepping down. Mr Yousaf said he was resigning last week after he decided to end the power-sharing agreement with the Scottish Green Party.
'I have therefore concluded that I shall not proceed with my nomination for party leader but instead support John Swinney's nomination for party leader and first minister of Scotland.' It means the party will avoid a three-week leadership contest, which would have been triggered had Mr McCormick not stepped aside and received the required 100 nominations.
