The Scottish National Party (SNP) will hold a ballot to elect a leader to replace First Minister Nicola Sturgeon between March 13 and March 27, the party said on Thursday.
EDINBURGH, United Kingdom — The Scottish National Party will hold a ballot to elect a leader to replace First Minister Nicola Sturgeon between March 13 and March 27, the party said on Thursday.
After more than eight eventful years as Scotland’s first minister and SNP chief, Sturgeon, 52, said on Wednesday she lacked the “energy” to carry on and would step down. There is no frontrunner to succeed Sturgeon, who was a towering presence in Scottish and UK politics, and no clear path forward on the dream of independence for Scotland from the United Kingdom.
Despite Brexit, the UK’s Conservative government has ruled out a second plebiscite in Scotland. Sturgeon summoned the conference in a bid to chart a way out of the constitutional conundrum.
