Humza Yousaf, the man set to become Scotland's first Muslim leader after a bruising contest to replace Nicola Sturgeon, is an experienced minister who faces a tough task uniting the Scottish National Party around its independence bid.
in the race, which will see him become first minister in Scotland's semi-autonomous government, Yousaf will be the first Muslim to lead a country in Western Europe.
"We will be the generation that delivers independence for Scotland," Yousaf said in Edinburgh after the result. His progressive social views should preserve a deal with the Green Party to support the SNP government. A republican, Yousaf said an independent Scotland should look at ditching the monarchy, telling the National newspaper in an interview: "Let's absolutely, within the first five years, consider whether or not we should move away from having a monarchy into an elected head of state."
