’s first minister after eight years in the role. Speaking at a last-minute press conference in Edinburgh this morning , Sturgeon said her decision came from a “place of duty and love”.
She continued: “While it will be tempting to see it as such, this decision is not a reaction to short-term pressures. This decision comes from a deeper and longer-term assessment. It might seem sudden, but I have been wrestling with it, albeit with oscillating levels of intensity, for some weeks.”Sturgeon has held the position of first minister since 2014, when she took over from the SNP’s former leader Alex Salmond and became the first woman to hold either position.
On 25 May last year, she also became the longest-serving first minister of Scotland, surpassing the record set by her predecessor.
