Opposition leaders reacted to Humza Yousaf’s resignation announcement with calls for a Scottish election.
Anas Sarwar, Scottish Labour Leader, thanked Yousaf for his public service and in particular “the dignified way in which he acted while his loved ones faced danger in Gaza”.“For Scottish Labour, this has never been about one person – this is about 17 years of SNP failure.
“Scotland now needs a stable, functioning Scottish Government focused on the issues that matter most to people - fixing public services and growing the economy.”Alex Cole-Hamilton, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader, said: “Today will be a difficult day for Humza Yousaf. I thank him for his service and I wish him and his family well for the future.
“It is regrettable that it has ended this way, it didn’t need to. We draw no satisfaction or pleasure from this."
