SNP members have until midday to vote for their new leader.
Health Secretary Humza Yousaf, Finance Secretary Kate Forbes, and former community safety minister Ash Regan have taken part in around 16 hustings as they competed to replace Nicola Sturgeon.
The fate of the three candidates is set to be revealed at around 2pm on Monday at the BT Murrayfield stadium in Edinburgh.It has not been a smooth leadership contest for the party, with acrimonious clashes between candidates and the dramatic resignation of chief executive Peter Murrell following controversy over the transparency of SNP membership numbers.
