Nicola Sturgeon has announced her decision to step down as a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) and will not seek re-election in May 2024. Former SNP leader and Scotland's first female first minister, Sturgeon has served eight years in the role, but her tenure has faced challenges, including a police investigation related to party finances. Following her resignation in March 2023, Sturgeon expressed pride in her service and the policies she championed, such as the Scottish Child Payment. Despite leaving frontline politics, she remains committed to Scotland's independence.
I joined the SNP in 1986 because I wanted to play my part in building a fair and prosperous Scotland and I have dedicated my life to that task ever since.
However, I have known in my heart for a while that the time is right for me to embrace different opportunities in a new chapter of my life.
