Humza Yousaf: Who is the new SNP leader and what should we expect?
The new SNP leader Humza Yousaf moves into the job having been one of the Scottish Government’s most senior and high-profile ministers. The 37-year-old, who is set to become first minister on Tuesday, is a firm ally of his predecessor Nicola Sturgeon. Yousaf began working as an SNP office manager after studying politics at Glasgow University. He worked alongside Bashir Ahmad, the first MSP from an Asian and Muslim background, before stints with Sturgeon and Alex Salmond following Ahmad’s death in 2009. After being elected in 2011 as a Glasgow region MSP, he took his oath to the Queen in English and in Urdu. He did the same when re-elected in 2016, wearing both a kilt and sherwani to reflect his Scottish and Pakistani heritage. #politics #scotland #news More here: https://i.stv.tv/40zVb3L
