Nicola Sturgeon has announced she will be resigning as leader of the Scottish National Party after more than 8 years in the role.
The SNP leader is expected to make the announcement later today at a news conference in Edinburgh.
She took over as the party leader in November 2014 after the SNP’s failed independence referendum, taking over from Alex Salmond.
Ms Sturgeon became the country’s longest-serving first minister after more than 8 years in the role.
