Humza Yousaf wins race to become Scotland’s next leader FMTNews FMTWorld

Humza Yousaf will be sworn in as Scotland’s leader on Wednesday if he wins a vote in parliament the day before.

Yousaf’s victory was confirmed at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield rugby ground this afternoon after a six-week campaign where the three candidates spent much of the contest criticising each other’s record in a series of personal attacks. But while about four in 10 Scots still support independence, according to a poll this month, the departure of Sturgeon — a charismatic and commanding leader — may slow some of the momentum behind a break-up of the United Kingdom.

The frontrunner to replace Sturgeon, Yousaf has stressed continuity with her record, including her push to make it easier for transgender people to gain official recognition to change their gender. During the campaign, Yousaf appeared more relaxed than Forbes, a member of the Free Church of Scotland, in balancing his religious views with the party’s socially progressive policies.
