Humza Yousaf moved to form the Second Yousaf government on 25 April 2024. It followed his dissolution of the Scottish National Party's power sharing agreement with the Scottish Green Party.[1]
History[edit]
On 25 April 2024 Scottish National Party First Minister Humza Yousaf announced that the power sharing agreement with the Scottish Green Party - which had been in place since 31 August 2021 - was dissolved with immediate effect. This resulted in the Green Party's two Ministers Patrick Harvie and Lorna Slater leaving government and their respective posts of Minister for Zero Carbon Buildings, Active Travel and Tenants' Rights and Minister for Green Skills, Circular Economy and Biodiversity being abolished.[2]
First Minister Humza Yousaf formed a SNP minority government, and faced separate motions of no confidence from Labour and the Conservatives, following the Greens withdrawing support.[3]
On 29 April, Yousaf announced his intention to resign as First Minster following the election of a new leader of the SNP. The Conservatives would withdraw their no confidence motion in Yousaf, following the announcement of his resignation, whilst the Labour Party would push their no confidence motion in the government to a vote - it being defeated by 70 votes to 58.[4]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
