Humza Yousaf formed the Second Yousaf government on 25 April 2024 following his dissolution of the Scottish National Party's power sharing agreement with the Scottish Greens.^[1] This resulted in a government crisis, where Yousaf faced the threat of a vote of no confidence now that the SNP was leading a minority government. Days later, Yousaf announced his intention to resign as First Minister and leader of the SNP. John Swinney succeeded Yousaf on 7 May 2024 following a leadership election.
