The SNP has begun its search for a successor to Humza Yousaf – but the Scottish Government will still face a vote of no confidence in Holyrood on Wednesday.
Senior figures within the SNP are already backing John Swinney, who served as Scottish deputy first minister for more than eight years under Nicola Sturgeon, as the best person for the post. She said: “We’ll obviously be considering things over the next few hours and so on – nobody’s declared yet, so I think we do still have a bit of time.”Asked if she was tempted to run, Ms Forbes said: “I think for me it’s clear I have a groundswell of support amongst the party.
That deal meant the seven Green MSPs in the Scottish Parliament voted with the SNP on most matters, giving the party an overall majority. In the hours following the First Minister’s announcement, senior members of the party turned to Mr Swinney to offer stability.
