Who is Humza Yousaf, SNP favourite to replace Sturgeon?

Al Jazeera  

The 37-year-old Scot of Pakistani heritage hopes to lead the country in the wake of Sturgeon’s shock resignation. Launching his campaign in Glasgow’s Clydebank, where his paternal grandfather worked in a Singer sewing machine factory, Yousaf said: “I see my ancestral roots as being not just Pakistani but running through Clydebank, which brought me to where I am today.” He is seen as someone who incarnates radical change. He was at Hutchesons’ Grammar School in Glasgow at the time, his classmates asking questions like: “Why do Muslims hate America?” The fallout prompted him to find out more about his religious and cultural heritage. “I think if you want to change the dynamics to create a successful society, there has to be more representation.” SNP member Scott Barclay thinks Yousaf’s strength lies in his ability to connect first with people, resisting the urge to force-feed them arguments on the cause. “He’s not overpowering like other politicians.” The 44-year-old will soon be casting his ballot in the leadership election, running until March 27, and Yousaf can rely on his vote and many others.
