Kyiv • UNN
Hamza Yousaf, leader of the Scottish National Party and Prime Minister of Scotland, announced his resignation after losing the support of his coalition partners over climate policy, which led to the threat of a no-confidence vote in his government.
The leader of the Scottish National Party, Hamza Yousaf, has announced his resignation as prime minister in the wake of the imminent vote of no confidence in the government. This was reported by UNN with reference to BBC.
Details
The government, which has been headed by Yusaf for about a year now, has abandoned the program of accelerated transition to zero greenhouse gas emissions, which led to the withdrawal of the Greens from the government coalition.
After that, the Greens united with the Conservatives, Labor and the Liberal Democrats in the parliament to support a vote of no confidence in the government and in Yousaf as leader of Scotland.
After the collapse of the government coalition, Yousaf decided to resign without waiting for the parliamentary vote scheduled for this week.
Recall
Last March, Hamza Yousaf won the leadership contest in the Scottish National Party (SNP) and was appointed the new Prime Minister of Scotland, replacing Nicola Sturgeon. This was reported by UNN with reference to Sky News and Politico.
