Humza Yousaf
Humza Yousaf, new leader of the Scottish National Party and first minister of Scotland, as well as the first Muslim to lead a major UK party.
Newly-elected leader of the SNP, Humza Yousaf, has become First Minister of Scotland at the age of just 37.
The Glaswegian showed community spirit from a young age, fundraising for charity and broadcasting for community station Radio Ramadan, before a political awakening that led to a speedy rise up the ranks of his party and into office.
Humza Yousaf has taken on some difficult government briefs, as well as some flak, but now he faces the challenge of a political lifetime: healing divisions in the SNP, improving public services and trying to deliver the party's dream of independence.
Mark Coles talks to friends, family and colleagues to try to find out more about the first ethnic-minority leader of a devolved government.
