Humza Yousaf live updates: Scotland's first minister to resign 'as early as Monday' - BBC News Humza Yousaf live updates: Scotland's first minister to resign 'as early as Monday' - BBC News
(32 minutes later)
David Wallace Lockhart Humza Yousaf and his wife Nadia El-Nakla have arrived at Bute House in Edinburgh, the official residence of the first minister.
Political correspondent Yousaf will make a statement at 12.00 BST. He is expected to announce his resignation.
So if Humza Yousaf falls on his sword, who comes next?
An obvious name is Kate Forbes. She narrowly lost to
Humza Yousaf in the SNP leadership contest which saw him become leader.
While the Scottish Greens don't like her stance on a
number of social issues, it's possible she could govern by doing deals elsewhere
with other parties.
I'm hearing from the Scottish Conservatives that they
could work with Ms Forbes in some policy areas, but would want to see
independence take a back seat.
Another name doing the rounds is that of the former
deputy first minister John Swinney.
He's widely seen as an experienced, popular, safe pair of
hands in the party. But he didn't want the job last time round. Have things
changed?
Stephen Flynn, the party's Westminster leader, is a big
name in the party. He can't be first minister from Westminster, but he could
technically lead the SNP if Humza Yousaf goes as party leader.
Though a party leader at Westminster and a separate first
minister at Holyrood could all get a bit complicated.
Other names being reported include Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth and Health Secretary Neil Gray.
