Humza Yousaf moved to form the Second Yousaf government on 25 April 2024. It followed his dissolution of the Scottish National Party's power sharing agreement with the Scottish Green Party.[1]
History[edit]
On 25 April 2024 Scottish National Party First Minister Humza Yousaf announced that the power sharing agreement with the Scottish Green Party - which had been in place since 31 August 2021 - was dissolved with immediate effect. This resulted in the Green Party's two Ministers Patrick Harvie and Lorna Slater leaving government and their respective posts of Minister for Zero Carbon Buildings, Active Travel and Tenants' Rights and Minister for Green Skills, Circular Economy and Biodiversity being abolished.[2]
First Minister Humza Yousaf formed a SNP minority government, with both currently facing separate motions of no confidence following the Greens withdrawing support.[3]
