Hamza Haroon Yousaf, Scotland's first Muslim Prime Minister, has resigned. He announced his resignation on Monday amid fears he could lose a no-confidence vote proposed by the opposition.

Hamza's party, the Scottish National Party, formed a government in Scotland in alliance with the Scottish Greens Party. However, his party, the Scottish National Party, broke up with this party recently. The opposition then called for two no-confidence votes to remove him from power. One against the First Minister and the other against the Scottish National Party government. Hamza can lose in these no confidence votes, it is quite certain. So he announced his resignation before the vote of no confidence.

In a speech on Monday, Hamza said, "I don't want to trade my values and principles." Or do not want to make deals with anyone to retain power. Earlier this month, Hamza said he was confident of winning the no-confidence vote called by the opposition. However, by Monday, the possibility of negotiating with other parties to strengthen his minority government became uncertain.

Hamza Yousef of Pakistani origin was elected the leader of the ruling Scottish National Party (SNP) in Scotland last year. He then replaced former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. Hamza became the first Muslim First Minister in the history of Scotland. Hamza was born in Glasgow, Scotland. However, his ancestors migrated to Scotland from Punjab, Pakistan in the 1960s. Although his father Muzaffar Yusuf was born in Pakistan, his mother Saista was born in Kenya. Source: Don.
