A Muslim has been chosen as the Prime Minister of Scotland
For the first time, a Muslim was chosen to be the head of the government of Scotland, which occupies British territory.
Humza Yousaf was elected by the ruling SNP party as its leader and head of the regional government.
This is the first time that a major party in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has elected a Muslim as its leader.
Humza Yousaf, 37 years old, is expected to be sworn in as Scotland's president on Tuesday.
Mr. Yousaf's father immigrated from Pakistan to Scotland in the 1960s while his mother is a Pakistani born in Kenya.
In 2011, he was first elected as a member of the Scottish Parliament.
Before winning the presidential election, he held the position of minister in the ministries of transport, justice, and health.
After winning the election, he vowed to lead Scotland in the struggle for independence from Great Britain.
