Scottish National Party’s Humza Yousaf inherits ‘tremendous mess’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:43:46 GMT

LONDON — Good luck to Humza Yousaf — Scotland’s next first minister is going to need it. Narrowly elected as the new leader of the pro-independence Scottish National Party Monday (SNP), Yousaf faces the monumental task of bringing together a party that has been driven apart by a bitter leadership contest. And he must now step into the shoes of Nicola Sturgeon, who took the SNP to new heights but left her successor with a formidable in-tray, including major strategic questions about the future of Scotland’s fight for independence from the United Kingdom.“Where there are divisions to heal, we must do so quickly,” Yousaf said Monday. His slim margin of victory over his nearest rival, Kate Forbes, lays bare the scale of that task.“I think it’s been a lot more robust than people anticipated at first,” one former Scottish government adviser said of the contest, with some understatement. Others have been more forthright.“There is a tremendous mess and we have to clear it up,” th...
