🏴 Iftar at Bute House with the First Minister Humza Yousaf A really memorable interfaith iftar at the First Minister’s residence, with possibly the first ever call to prayer (adhan) to mark the opening of the fast at sunset 🌅 As we prayed in the dinning space (also quite possibly making history) it was an important time to reflect on the blessings and spirit of Ramadan, and the importance of inviting others to share and learn Interfaith communities from across Scotland sat together, for some good conversation, food and an opportunity to learn a little more about each other #Ramadan #iftar #Scotland #ButeHouse #FM @humzayousaf

Mr Yousaf clinched a narrow victory to become SNP leader on Monday, gaining 52 per cent of the votes cast by 50,490 of its members. He is the youngest First Minister since devolution reforms created the Scottish Parliament in 1999. via THE NATIONAL UAE

The Pakistan-origin leader, Humza Yousaf, has been confirmed as Scotland's new first minister after a vote in the Scottish Parliament. He is also the youngest first minister at 37, and the first Muslim to lead a major UK party. In a tweet following the vote, Yousaf shared "a special moment" with his family after victory in the parliamentary vote. He also posted a photo of him leading the prayers at Bute House, the official residence of the first minister of Scotland. "My family and I spending our first night in Bute House after today's parliamentary vote. A special moment leading my family in prayer in Bute House as is customary after breaking fast together," Humza Yousaf tweeted.

LONDON: Humza Yousaf was sworn in as Scotland’s new leader on Wednesday in a ceremony blending formal tradition with his Pakistani heritage, then announced his first cabinet in a move that risked deepening the divisions in his governing party. Yousaf, the first Muslim to lead a democratic western European nation, was dressed in a black shalwar kameez at Scotland’s highest court, the Court of Session in Edinburgh. His wife, watching with his children and parents, shed tears at the start of the ceremony. Yousaf, who pledged an oath of allegiance to King Charles, has previously said he wants to replace the monarchy with an elected head of state if he achieves his dream of ending Scotland’s three-centuries-long political union with England. The 37-year-old then announced his new cabinet of six women and three men, who were mainly close allies of Scotland’s former leader Nicola Sturgeon, who resigned last month after dominating Scottish politics for more than a decade. But the new lineup could breed disunity as it excluded Yousaf’s leadership rivals or their allies who said they were offered only positions that amounted to demotions. Shona Robison – a close friend of Sturgeon – will serve as finance minister as well as deputy first minister, while Angus Robertson will continue to have the responsibility for constitutional issues and external affairs. Announcing his new team, Yousaf said his cabinet, which has a majority of women for the first time in Scotland’s history, should look as much as possible like the voters they represent. “As we make the case for Scottish independence, we will continue to govern well and demonstrate to the people of Scotland the benefits of decisions about their lives being taken here in Scotland,” he said. The new leader faces numerous challenges, including uniting his party, charting a new course towards independence from the United Kingdom, and fixing Scotland’s problems with healthcare and education. #ARYNews #Scotland #HumzaYousaf #ButeHouse #LatestNews #RamazanMubarak #News

Newly appointed First Minister of Scotland Humza Yousaf led the prayer in Bute House on his first night at the official residence of Scottish leader after winning the election. Pakistani origin Yousaf had shifted to his official residence with family, after taking oath as the First Minister. He had won the race to become Scotland's new leader, the youngest and first from a minority ethnic background, on Monday. Taking to Twitter, the 37-year-old shared "a special moment" with his family after victory in the parliamentary vote. Yousaf posted a couple of pictures of himself sitting with his family and leading the prayer at Bute House. Yousaf's immediate family includes his father Muzaffer Yousaf, mother Shaista Bhutta, wife Nadia and two daughters. He said that leading the male members of his family into prayer was a customary practice after breaking fast together as it is the month of Ramadan. "My family and I spending our first night in Bute House after today's parliamentary vote. A special moment leading my family in prayer in Bute House as is customary after breaking fast together," the new Scottish leader said. Humza Yousaf wins race Scottish nationalists had picked Pakistani origin Humza Yousaf to be the country's next leader on Monday after a bitterly fought contest that exposed deep divisions in his party over policy and a stalled independence campaign. Yousaf emerged victorious with 52% of Scottish National Party (SNP) members' preferentially ranked votes, following a divisive leadership battle triggered by Sturgeon's surprise resignation announcement last month. The 37-year-old practising Muslim is set to be sworn in as the first minister on today (Wednesday), becoming the first ethnic minority leader of a devolved government and the first Muslim to lead a major UK party. #AurSunao #AurSunaoPk #Scotland #NewMinister #HumzaYousaf #Prayer #ButeHouse #News #Updates

Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed she is resigning as Scotland's first minister after more than eight years in the role. The Scottish National Party leader said she knew "in my head and in my heart" this was the right time to step down. Ms Sturgeon said she would remain in office until her successor was elected. She is the longest-serving first minister and the first woman to hold the position. Ms Sturgeon insisted her resignation was not in response to the "latest period of pressure", which has included controversies over gender reforms, trans prisoners and the strategy on independence.… (By Glenn Campbell Political editor, BBC Scotland) Read more at the link: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-64647907 蘇格蘭第一部長、蘇格蘭民族黨（SNP）領導人尼古拉‧斯特金（Nicola Sturgeon）在愛丁堡布特宮（Bute House）舉行的新聞發布會上宣布，她將辭去擔任蘇格蘭首席大臣八年多的職務。 這位蘇格蘭民族黨領導人說，她“在腦海和心裡”都知道現在是下台的正確時機。不過，在她的繼任者選出之前，她將留任。 據了解，她是任職時間最長的首席部長，也是第一位擔任該職位的女性。並堅稱，她的辭職並不是為了回應“最近一段時間的壓力”，其中包括對性別改革、跨性別囚犯和獨立戰略的爭議...。 在我們限時動態的連結中閱讀更多內容。 Source: BBC #NicolaSturgeon #Scotland #firstminister #resignation #genderreforms #independence #ButeHouse #country #position #democratic #solidified #蘇格蘭 #第一部長 #民族黨 #領導人 #愛丁堡布特宮 #卸任 #職務 Photo by JANE BARLOW/AP
Nicola Sturgeon has dramatically QUIT as Scotland's First Minister - saying she is passing over the baton in the country's "final" push for independence. The SNP leader said she had been "wrestling" with the massive decision for a while, but said her head and heart told her the time to go had come. Describing the "brutality" of political life, she said leadership involved "giving up everything", which had taken a huge physical and mental toll. She told a hastily-convened press conference that she would remain in charge while a successor is found - and would not quit the Scottish Parliament until the next election. But she told reporters in Edinburgh that she has yet to decide whether to stand again. She said: “I’ve believed that part of serving well would be to know almost instinctively when the time is right to make way for someone else. In my head and in my heart I know that time is now." She said the decision wasn't a reaction to "short term pressures" after a devastating poll showed public support for her leadership was waning. Ms Sturgeon said that having become a polarising figure, she feared she might be holding back the battle for independence. "I'm firmly of the view that there's majority support for independence, but that spirit needs to be solidified and it needs to grow further," she stated. "To achieve that we must cross the divide... My judgement is that a new leader would be best placed to do that." She said she has no intention of leaving the political arena and would continue to fight for Scottish independence - which she said was in its "final phase". "I believe my successor, whoever he or she may be, will lead Scotland to independence, and I'll be there cheering them on," Ms Sturgeon said. The First Minister said her resignation "frees the SNP" on the issue of Scottish independence "to choose the path it believes to be the right one without worrying about the perceived implications for my leadership". 🔗 Click the link in our bio to read the full story #nicolasturgeon #butehouse #scottishgovernment #firstministerofscotland #holyrood #scottishindependence #defactoreferendum
