This is reported by The Guardian.
The newspaper writes that the election campaign revealed deep divisions in the party, which dominated Scottish politics under former prime minister Nicola Sturgeon.
Yusaf promised to continue the "center-left, socially inclusive" agenda.
At the same time, during the campaign, the politician preferred to distance himself from the key policies of his predecessor, including the plan to "hold the next general election as a de facto referendum," the newspaper writes.
In February, a member of the House of Lords of the British Parliament from the Conservative Party, Lord Richard Balf, said that the Scottish National Party intends to achieve independence of the country through a referendum after the resignation of the First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon.
On November 23, the Supreme Court of Great Britain banned the Scottish authorities from holding a referendum on independence without the consent of the British government.
According to Sturgeon, Scotland has seen a rise in separatist sentiment after liz Truss's "disastrous" first month as Britain's prime minister.
