Opposition’s announcement of motion of no confidence against Prime Minister Hamza Yusuf

The opposition has announced a motion of no confidence against Scottish Prime Minister Hamza Yusuf.

According to British media, it will be difficult for Hamza Yusuf to get a vote of confidence due to differences with the coalition party Scottish Green.

Scotland’s first Muslim leader, Hamza Yusuf, has the support of 63 members of his Scottish National Party, while the opposition parties also have the support of 63 MPs.

According to the British media, if the votes of the government and the opposition are equal, the presiding officer will cast his vote. Traditionally the presiding officer votes in favor of the government.

It should be remembered that Hamza Yusuf of Pakistani origin was elected as the First Minister (Prime Minister) of Scotland on March 29, 2023.

He also holds the distinction of being Scotland’s youngest and first Asian Muslim First Minister.
