Scotland's first minister is ruling out an electoral pact with Alex Salmond's Alba party, BBC News has been told.
The SNP has 63 seats in the Scottish Parliament while the opposition parties have 65, meaning Mr Yousaf would be defeated if the Conservatives, Labour, the Liberal Democrats, the Greens, and the sole Alba MSP, Ash Regan, all voted against him. At present, the next Holyrood election is due in 2026 while a Westminster general election is expected this year.
A second policy announcement was expected on Sunday but BBC News has been told that this will not now happen, an indication that his survival strategy is already in danger of being blown off course.
