With Mr Yousaf having announced he will stand down as First Minister, there are a number of possible replacements.
Contenders including Kate Forbes and John Swinney are jockeying for position in the race to replace Humza Yousaf as first minister
Mr Swinney has the benefit of significant experience, having been an MSP since the Scottish Parliament’s inception in 1999, serving North Tayside, and previously representing the same constituency at Westminster in 1997. And as finance secretary under Ms Sturgeon, Ms Forbes has been known to help her government through tough crises, stepping into the role and delivering a budget at short notice after her predecessor, Derek Mackay, resigned in disgrace in 2020.
In the last leadership contest, Ms Forbes did not have the backing of most of her own SNP MSPs but did win over a significant number of members, losing the closely-fought leadership election by 47.9% of the vote compared to Mr Yousaf’s 52.1%.The Clydesdale MSP has been tipped as a future leader as she quickly moved up the ranks despite only being elected in 2021.
But, under Humza Yousaf, she quickly ascended to a cabinet post just two years later, taking on the Transport, Net Zero and Just Transition portfolio.
