In his letter, Yousaf emphasized the importance of allowing the next generation to rise, stating, "standing down would provide an opportunity for the next generation of MSPs to step forward."
Reflecting on his tenure, Yousaf acknowledged mistakes, particularly with the Greens: "terminating the power-sharing agreement... I underestimated the level of hurt caused by my decision."
He shared a personal note, mentioning the impact of the Gaza conflict on his family: "His in-laws were trapped in Gaza for four weeks... the most difficult of his life."
Yousaf expressed pride in his historic leadership role, hoping he sent a strong message to youth: "I hope... I have sent a clear message to every young person, of any background, you do belong and are just as deserving of opportunity."
