Last updated on April 29th, 2024 at 05:22 am

Kate Forbes is supporting First Minister Hamza Yousaf in the upcoming vote of no confidence. Kate Forbes is also talking to his party members and asking them to support Hamza Yusuf.

Even though he is having problems, Yousaf is still determined to keep his job and is actively trying to talk to other political parties in the Scottish Parliament. The smaller party that wants independence is upset that Yousaf ended the deal for the SNP and the Scottish Greens to share power.

This is a hard time for Yousaf, but he has found support from Ivan McKee. Ivan McKee is also a member of the SNP.

Forbes talked about how important loyalty is in tough times and asked SNP members and other people who care about Scotland to back the First Minister. McKee, a former SNP minister, agreed with this and said that Yousaf might step down if he fails to get the confidence vote because it would show that the parliament doesn’t support him. Forbes and McKee had previously said they were worried about the Bute House Agreement, which led to the Greens joining the Scottish Government.

Ash Regan, leader of the Alba Party in Holyrood and a former SNP member, could be very helpful to Yousaf in his political career.

Regan said she is still thinking about how to vote.

Yousaf is still very determined to get the confidence votes, and he hasn’t ruled out the possibility that a Holyrood election could happen sooner than planned.

Patrick Harvie, co-leader of the Scottish Green Party, has doubts about Yousaf’s ability to bring everyone together in Holyrood and suggests that the SNP look for a different candidate.

What remains to be seen on this changing political ground will be what and what votes of confidence is Yusuf able to garner?
