Nicola Sturgeon has resigned as First Minister after eight years in what she described as “the best job in the world.”
She will leave office as the longest-serving and inaugural female First Minister since the creation of the Scottish Parliament in 1999, remembered for the fight for Scottish independence and tackling the Covid-19 pandemic.
Since she assumed the role, Sturgeon has worked with five different prime ministers south of the border.
Her time in office has not been without criticism; her ambition of an independent Scotland never came to fruition under her leadership.
The government has also faced strong a strong backlash over the NHS’ struggles to recover from the impact of the pandemic, with soaring waiting times in emergency departments.
