Former Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf will step down as an MSP in 2026, ending his 15-year career.

Former Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf has announced he will step down as an MSP in 2026, ending his 15-year career at Holyrood. Yousaf, who became the first ethnic minority first minister and Muslim leader of a Western democratic nation, served for just over a year before resigning due to ending the power-sharing deal with the Scottish Greens. He hopes his tenure will inspire others from similar backgrounds and plans to focus on conflict resolution and peacemaking after stepping down.
