Hamza Yousaf becomes first person of Pakistani descent to lead Scotland's ruling party.

Humza Yousaf, a pro-independence Muslim, has been named as the new leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP) and is set to become the youngest first minister of Scotland. Yousaf has promised to continue his party's push for independence and focus on improving the high cost of living, educational opportunities, and access to the National Health Service. However, the way forward for independence is unclear as the UK government has refused to support another referendum. Yousaf replaces Nicola Sturgeon, who stood down last month after more than eight years in the role.
