Scottish parliament listings showed the vote was scheduled for Wednesday.<br \/>\nFacing a separate vote of no confidence in his own position as first minister, Yousaf said he would step down as Scotland\u2019s leader, as opposition parties including the Greens lined up to vote against him. That vote now won\u2019t take place.<br \/>\nHowever, Labour\u2019s wider motion of no confidence in the whole government is set to be opposed by the Greens, meaning that it will likely fail and the SNP will have chance to form a new minority government under another leader.<br \/>\nFormer leader John Swinney has said he is considering standing, while Yousaf\u2019s former leadership rival Kate Forbes is seen as a possible candidate.<br \/>\nIf the Labour no confidence motion were to be passed, it would result in the resignation of the government and likely Scottish elections thereafter.<br \/>\nScottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar said it would be a democratic outrage for the SNP to choose another leader \u2013 and thus First Minister \u2013 without a parliamentary election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fact described in the text is that the Scottish government will face a no-confidence vote on Wednesday, but it is expected to win after First Minister Humza Yousaf announced his resignation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":10255,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"Default","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1793,1498,5255,3,1600,153,4955,250,3330,415,501,8348,1245,839,5865,8460,7880,3331,3924,6121,1799,7378,5328,2065,2242,8487,5866,5864,494,1774,8025],"class_list":["post-10254","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-other","tag-coalition","tag-confidence","tag-crisis","tag-cyprus","tag-election","tag-elections","tag-forbes","tag-google","tag-google-news","tag-government","tag-green-party","tag-humza-yousaf","tag-kate","tag-labour","tag-labour-party","tag-leadership-contest","tag-minority-government","tag-news","tag-no-confidence-vote","tag-opportunity","tag-parliament","tag-parties","tag-party","tag-resignation","tag-scotland","tag-scottish-government","tag-scottish-national-party","tag-snp","tag-uk","tag-vote","tag-vote-of-no-confidence"],"acf":{"keyphrase":"","keywords":"","sourceimg":"","country-category":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Scottish government faces no-confidence vote<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"resignation.
