As First Minsiter Humza Yousaf faces a no-confidence vote, it may be one member of the Alba Party who determines whether or not he survives.
Scotland 's Alba Party only formed in 2021, but it is poised to play kingmaker as current First Minister Humza YousafAlba Party Holyrood leader Ash Regan is yet to say how she would vote, but it's thought she will be hugely influential in terms of whether he remains in charge.
The following description of the party's goals was laid out when it was founded: "The sole purpose of Alba is to strengthen and deepen the movement for independence through an unstinting generosity of spirit, active and lawful campaigning and the extension of our just and democratic institutions so that they are fit for the 21st century and beyond."
For example in the context of a no-confidence vote in Mr Humza Yousaf, he would need at least 64 of the 129 MSPs to vote for him in order to gain a majority to win the vote. She has been very vocal about the SNP's stance on gender and their plans to implement gender self-identification.While there has been no confirmation as to how Ms Regan will cast her ballot in a no-confidence vote, she has sent a letter to the first minister requesting "a reset".
In a letter to Alba members, Ms Regan said she is “carefully considering” her position ahead of the vote.
