Hamza Yusuf Leads SNP Polling Ahead Of Critical Week For Scottish Politics

UK

A new Savanta poll for the Daily Telegraph has found the Scottish National party leadership race “too close to call” with Hamza Yusuf in the lead with 31%.

  • The poll of SNP members shows Hamza Yusuf as the marginal with 31%, slightly ahead of Kate Forbes with 25%, and Ash Regan trailing with 11%.

  • The poll comes ahead of a potentially critical week for the direction of the SNP with two TV debates and party hustings scheduled.
