LONDON (Reuters) - Scottish National Party (SNP) lawmaker John Swinney said on Thursday he would run to succeed outgoing leader Humza Yousaf as Scotland's first minister, promising he could reunite the fractured party and restore its fortunes.
The SNP is looking for a new leader to rebuild its once-dominant position in Scottish politics and rejuvenate the push for a new independence referendum after a series of political missteps that has seen its popularity slide.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
