| Humza Yousaf's resignation makes his tenure as Scotland's first minister the second shortest since the office was established in 1999. | |
| In that time there have been, not including caretakers, six first ministers - three from the Labour Party and three from the Scottish National Party. | |
| Yousaf formally took office one year and one month ago, on 29 March 2023. | |
| He succeeded Nicola Sturgeon, whose stint of eight years and 128 days in the job makes her Scotland's longest-serving first minister. | |
| Yousaf narrowly misses out on becoming Scotland's shortest-serving first minister by just 20 days. | |
| In 2001, Labour's Henry McLeish resigned after one year and 12 days following an expenses scandal surrounding his office. | |
| Depending on how long the SNP leadership contest to replace him takes, Yousaf could also surpass Donald Dewar's tenure in office. Scotland's first minister served for one year and 147 days, and died in office. | |
