Yousaf, who made history as the UK’s first ethnic minority leader of a devolved government, expressed the need for new leadership and aims to focus on broader contributions to society. Reflecting on his tenure, he acknowledged mistakes made during his leadership, especially concerning the SNP’s power-sharing deal with the Scottish Greens.
