'''2023年苏格兰民族党主席选举'''于2023年2月至3月间举行,目的是选出新任苏格兰民族党主席,以接替即将退休的[[妮古拉·斯特金]]。本次选举共3名候选人,于2月24日确定为凱特·福布斯、阿什·里根和洪姆扎·尤薩夫。选举于3月27日结束,由尤萨夫取得胜利,其在第一轮和第二轮选举中的得票率分别为 48.2%和52.1%,其中由于候选人里根中途退出,第二轮的得票率乃重新分配的结果。3月28日,尤萨夫当选[[蘇格蘭首席部長]]<ref>{{cite news |date=2011-05-06 |title=尤薩夫當選蘇格蘭民族黨黨魁成首名非白人蘇格蘭首席部長 |work=香港01 |url=https://www.hk01.com |access-date=2024-04-16}}</ref>。

此次选举是苏格兰民族党将近20年来第一次存在竞争的党魁选举,此前上一任主席[[妮古拉·斯特金]]在2014年的选举中是全票当选。选举期间,苏格兰议会媒体主管穆雷·富特和行政长官{{link-en|彼得·马雷尔|Peter Murrell}}(同时是妮古拉·斯特金的丈夫)由于被指虚报党员人数,先后于3月17日及18日辞职<ref name="Resignations" />。

2004年,曾在1990年至2000年间担任民族党主席的亚历克斯·萨尔蒙德再度当选。2007年,民族党在{{link-en|2007年苏格兰议会选举|2007 Scottish Parliament election|议会选举}}中赢得多数选票和席位,萨尔蒙德成为新一任蘇格蘭首席部長。在{{link-en|2011年苏格兰议会选举|2011 Scottish Parliament election|2011年的议会选举}}中,民族党再次赢得多数席位,首次取得议会控制权,萨尔蒙德宣布将推动一次苏格兰独立公投<ref>{{cite news |date=2011-05-06 |title=苏格兰民族党赢得议会控制权 |language=zh |work=BBC中文 |url=https://www.bbc.com/zhongwen/simp/rolling_news/2011/05/110506_rolling_uk_vote |access-date=2024-04-16}}</ref>。公投最终于2014年举行,但55.3%的选民表示反对苏格兰独立,萨尔蒙德随即辞去民族党主席和首席部长职务部长<ref>{{cite web |title=人物:苏格兰民族党领袖尼古拉·斯特金 |url=https://www.bbc.com/ukchina/simp/uk_life/2015/04/150414_life_profile_sturgeon |last=Nutt |first=Kathleen |date=2015-04-14 |work=BBC中文 |access-date=2024-04-16}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=2014-09-19 |title=Scottish referendum: Salmond to quit after Scots vote No |language=en-GB |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-29277527 |access-date=2024-04-16}}</ref>,民族党因此再次举行主席选举,时任副主席及副首席部长妮古拉·斯特金全票当选<ref>{{cite news |last=Brooks |first=Libby |date=2014-10-15 |title=Nicola Sturgeon confirmed as next leader of the SNP |language=en-GB |work=The Scotsman |url=https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/end-of-an-era-for-snp-and-scottish-politics-as-john-swinney-resigns-from-government-4048357 |access-date=2024-04-16 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref>。

斯特金带领民族党参加了[[2016年蘇格蘭議會選舉|2016年的议会选举]],同时组建了一个少数党政府。2021年,斯特金再次带领民族党参加[[2021年苏格兰议会选举|议会选举]],并最终{{link-en|蘇格蘭民族黨—蘇格蘭綠黨分权協議|Bute House Agreement|与绿党达成了一份分权协议}}。在斯特金的领导下,民族党分别在2015年、2017年、2019年的大选中三度赢得多数席位,其中2015年更赢得除3个席位以外的所有席位。斯特金向英国提出{{link-en|第二次苏格兰独立公投提议|Proposed second Scottish independence referendum|举行第二次独立公投}},但英国最高法院于2022年宣布他们必须先取得威斯敏斯特方面的同意<ref>{{cite news|title=蘇格蘭獨立 英國最高法院裁定:公投必須先獲得英國政府同意|url=https://www.bbc.com/zhongwen/trad/uk-63730581|work=BBC|accessdate=2024-04-16|archive-date=2022-11-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221125184910/https://www.bbc.com/zhongwen/trad/uk-63730581|dead-url=no}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Nicolson |first=Stuart |date=2022-11-22 |title=Independence referendum: Scottish government loses indyref2 court case|work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-63727562 |access-date=2024-04-16}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=2016-05-06 |title=Election 2016: Before-and-after and party strength maps|work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/election-2016-36215186 |access-date=2024-04-16}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=SNP win election one seat short of majority |date=2021-05-07 |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-56995136 |access-date=2024-04-16 |website=BBC News}}</ref>。2022年5月25日,斯特金超过萨尔蒙德,成为在任时间最长的首席部长<ref>{{cite web |title=Nicola Sturgeon becomes Scotland's longest serving First Minister |url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/20162267.nicola-sturgeon-becomes-scotlands-longest-serving-first-minister/ |last=Nutt |first=Kathleen |date=2022-05-25 |work=The Herald |access-date=2024-04-16}}</ref>。

斯特金表示她在作出辞职决定时的一个考虑因素是民族党内部即将在2023年3月19日举办的一次特殊会议,这次会议主要讨论该党在寻求独立方面的策略。她还表示希望将下次大选或议会选举看作一次事实上的独立公投<ref>{{cite news |last1=Carrell |first1=Severin |last2=Brooks |first2=Libby |date=2023-02-15 |title=Nicola Sturgeon resignation: why now – and what happens next on key issues?|work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/feb/15/nicola-sturgeon-resignation-why-now-and-what-happens-next-on-key-issues |access-date=2024-04-16 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref>。该计划在民族党内部引发争议<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Allegretti |first1=Aubrey |last2=Carrell |first2=Severin |date=2023-02-16 |title=SNP top leaders urge overhaul of Sturgeon independence plan |url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/feb/16/snp-nicola-sturgeon-stephen-flynn-independence-plan-rethink |website=The Guardian}}</ref>,相当数量的党员对此提出反对<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/feb/16/snp-nicola-sturgeon-stephen-flynn-independence-plan-rethink|title=SNP top leaders urge overhaul of Sturgeon independence plan|first1=Aubrey|last1=Allegretti|first2=Severin|last2=Carrell|date=2023-02-16|newspaper=The Guardian}}</ref>,该党下议院领袖{{link-en|斯蒂芬·弗林|Stephen Flynn (Scottish politician)}}等人更提出推迟特殊会议以及让斯蒂芬下台<ref name="autogenerated1">{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-64656166 |title=Nicola Sturgeon: Search begins to find successor |work=BBC News |date=2023-02-16 |accessdate=2024-04-16}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Learmonth |first=Andrew |url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/23324503.calls-snp-special-democracy-conference-postponed/ |title=Calls for SNP 'special democracy conference' to be postponed |work=The Herald |date=2023-02-15 |accessdate=2024-04-16}}</ref>,他们的提议最终被民族党全国执行委员会部分采纳,后者于2023年2月16日决定将特殊会议推迟<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-64670237|title=Nicola Sturgeon: Why has no one said they will stand to replace her?|last=Campbell|first=Glenn|work=BBC News|date=2023-02-16}}</ref>。

斯特金辞职前几年,民族党的党纪声誉曾经严重受损。2017年,苏格兰政府接到针对前任民族党主席亚历克斯·萨尔蒙德的{{link-en|亚历克斯·萨尔蒙德性骚扰丑闻|Alex Salmond scandal|性骚扰指控}},经过三年的法律斗争后,萨尔蒙德于2020年被判无罪。这一判决结果引发各界怀疑,苏格兰议会为此特地组建了一个{{link-en|政府对性骚扰案件的处理调查委员会|Committee on the Scottish Government Handling of Harassment Complaints|委员会}}来调查政府对该案的处理。2021年,萨尔蒙德自行组建了一个[[阿爾巴黨]],但未能取得任何议席。

斯特金辞职的时间与议会公布调查结果相差两年,当时议会通过的《{{link-en|苏格兰性别认同改革法案|Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill}}》持续面临争议,民族党本身也正在接受舞弊调查<ref name="genderreform">{{Cite news |last1=Brooks |first1=Libby |last2=Carrell |first2=Severin |date=2023-02-16 |title=Scottish leadership election leaves gender reform hanging in balance |url=https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/feb/16/scottish-leadership-election-leaves-gender-reform-hanging-in-balance |newspaper=The Guardian}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/02/nicola-sturgeon-resignation-scotland-transgender-bill/673067/|title=Nicola Sturgeon Couldn't Brush Off the Fight Over Gender Laws|last=Lewis|first=Helen|date=2023-02-15|work=The Atlantic|accessdate=2024-04-16}}</ref>。另外,斯特金辞职两个月前,{{link-en|2022年苏格兰民主党威斯敏斯特领袖选举|2022 SNP Westminster leadership election|民族党在威斯敏斯特地区的领导层发生了一次变动}},被视为斯特金政治盟友的[[伊恩·布萊克福德]]和{{link-en|艾莉森·休里斯|Alison Thewliss}}先后下台,其中布莱克福德否认是受到其他议员强迫<ref>{{Cite news |date=2022-12-04 |title=Blackford denies being pushed out by SNP MPs |language=en-GB |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-63850615 |access-date=2024-04-16}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Johnson |first=Simon |date=2022-12-04 |title=Sturgeon ally Alison Thewliss launches bid to become SNP Westminster leader |language=en-GB |work=Daily Telegraph |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2022/12/04/alison-thewliss-throws-hat-ring-next-snp-westminster-leader/ |access-date=2024-04-16}}</ref>。

斯特金辞职后,绿党称将会重新考虑是否继续履行分权协议<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thenational.scot/news/23389622.scottish-greens-shut-down-meeting-whether-stay-government/|title=Scottish Greens 'shut down' meeting on staying in government after SNP election|last=Morrison|first=Hamish|date=2023-03-15|website=The National}}</ref>。

==议题==
本次选举的议题主要集中在经济、苏格兰独立及性别认同法案改革等三个方面<ref name="partyssoul">{{Cite news |last=Cook |first=James |date=2023-03-13 |title=SNP leadership: The battle raging for the party's soul |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-64939777}}</ref>。

===经济===
选举前,民族党及其盟友绿党领导下的苏格兰政府所推行的禁止钻探新的石油及天然气资源、{{link-en|飲料瓶回收法|Container-deposit legislation|饮料瓶回收计划}}、限制酒精类广告等措施被部分批评人士认为阻碍了苏格兰的发展。同时左派党派批评政府在经济管理方面奉行[[新自由主義]]、抛售绿色能源及支持设立[[自由港]]<ref name=partyssoul />。

三名候选人中,凱特·福布斯被认为对商业领域最为友好。外界推测福布斯或阿什·里根中任何一人当选都会对民族党与绿党之间的分权协议构成威胁。三名候选人均表示不看好饮料瓶回收计划<ref name=partyssoul />。

=== 苏格兰独立 ===
寻求苏格兰独立是民族党的中心目标,因此这一议题一直也被认为是这次选举的主要议题。

三名候选人中,阿什·里根所提出的方法最为激进<ref>{{Cite news |last=Carrell |first=Severin |date=2023-02-24 |title=Ash Regan outlines Scottish independence plan as SNP nominations close |language=en-GB |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/feb/24/scottish-independence-ash-regan-campaign-launch-snp-first-minister |access-date=2024-04-16}}</ref>,她表示她会把未来所有包括苏格兰和整个英国在内的议会选举视为事实上的独立公投,主张只要超过50%的选民支持独立,便无需再举行公投,而是直接开启与英国政府的谈判程序。凱特·福布斯和洪姆扎·尤薩夫也将独立当作博取支持的重要筹码,其中福布斯承诺会在当选后三个月内推动有公投,但未有说明具体策略<ref name=partyssoul />。同时三人均表示在下次英国大选举行之后的[[悬峙议会|议会悬峙]]阶段,他们将对支持[[工党 (英国)|工党]]持开放态度,以为苏格兰议会换取执行独立公投的权利。但工党领袖[[凱爾·斯塔摩]]回应称在任何情况下都不会同意这样的协议<ref name=partyssoul />。

=== 性别认同法案改革 ===
作为分权协议的一部分,斯特金曾致力于优先推动性别认同法案改革,但相关努力后来受到[[2019冠状病毒病疫情]]掣肘<ref>{{cite news |last=Davidson |first=Gina |date=2021-09-07 |url=https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/nicola-sturgeon-confirms-gender-recognition-reform-back-on-legislative-agenda-3374378|title=Nicola Sturgeon confirms gender recognition reform back on legislative agenda |work=The Scotsman}}</ref>。2022年12月,苏格兰议会通过了《苏格兰性别认同改革法案》,旨在让[[跨性别]]群体更改法律登记性别的过程更为容易。在民族党内部,有54人对该法案投下支持票,但亦有包括阿什·里根在内的9名成员反对。而凱特·福布斯则因产假而未参与投票,被外界视为倾向反对,但后来福布斯选择继续留任议会并表示支持该法案,与辞职抗议的阿什·里根形成对比<ref>{{cite news |date=2022-10-27 |title=SNP minister Ash Regan resigns over gender recognition plans |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-63416857 |access-date=2024-04-16}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=Joanna |last=Cherry |title=I'm no serial rebel but I simply couldn't support gender reform bill |date=2022-12-23 |url=https://www.thenational.scot/politics/23209850.joanna-cherry-couldnt-support-gender-reform-bill/ |access-date=2024-04-16 |website=The National}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Kate Forbes refuses to say if she will back SNP's gender recognition plans |date=2022-03-01 |url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/19961165.kate-forbes-refuses-say-will-back-snp-governments-gender-recognition-plans/ |last=Bol |first=David |access-date=2024-04-16 |website=The Herald}}</ref>。洪姆扎·尤薩夫也对该法案表示支持<ref>{{cite web |date=2023-02-17 |title=Culture wars derailed Nicola Sturgeon.

因为绿党强烈支持这次法案改革,故媒体认为民族党内部对该法案的争论可能会给两党之间的分权协议带来威胁<ref name="genderreform"/><ref name="auto2">{{cite news |title=Scottish Greens may pull out of SNP deal if Forbes becomes FM prompting snap election |last=Nutt |first=Kathleen |date=2023-02-19 |url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/23330975.greens-may-exit-snp-deal-kate-forbes-becomes-fm-prompting-election/ |access-date=2024-04-16 |website=The Herald}}</ref>。来自绿党的两名政府部长表示如果该法案被撤销或是大幅修改,他们将以辞职的方式抗议<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-snp-green-coalition-is-unlikely-to-last-the-week/|title=The SNP-Green coalition is unlikely to last the week|first=Iain|last=Macwhirter|date=2023-02-19|website=The Spectator}}</ref>。又由于民族党在苏格兰议会中并非多数,因此如果绿党离开政府,民族党将很难执行议会事务,并可能被迫陷入临时选举<ref name="auto2" />。

斯特金宣布辞职后,里根及民族党议会成员{{link-en|喬安娜·切麗|Joanna Cherry}}再次对改革法案提出反对,并提出应该允许最近才离开民族党的前成员重新加入并参与党魁选举<ref>{{cite news |title=SNP leadership contest hit by row over who gets to vote |last=Gordon |first=Tom |date=2023-02-16 |url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/23327222.snp-leadership-contest-hit-row-gets-vote/ |website=The Herald}}</ref> 。苏格兰副首席部长约翰·斯文尼回应称该提议“非常荒谬”,因为早已经有规则确定只有当下的党员才可以参与投票<ref name="auto1">{{cite web |last=Massie |first=Alex |date=2023-02-17 |work=The Times |title=Dash to succeed Sturgeon favours big names |url-access=subscription|url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/dash-to-succeed-sturgeon-favours-big-names-rwnmnlnk8 |access-date=2024-04-16 |issn=0140-0460}}</ref>。

与此同时,民主党内部的[[LGBT]]人士表示他们对这次选举的开展方式以及选举中对LGBT群体的用词大感失望<ref>{{cite news|title=SNP leadership race updates amid equal marriage row|url=https://www.thenational.scot/news/23335302.live-snp-leadership-race-updates-amid-equal-marriage-row/|date=2023-02-21|website=The National}}</ref>。

=== 凱特·福布斯 ===
斯特金宣布辞职时,福布斯的职位是金融秘书,且当时由于产假原因不在现场。她于2月20日宣布竞选党主席,在宣布之初被认为是最有望获选者<ref name="Allegretti">{{cite news |last=Allegretti |first=Aubrey |date=2023-02-06 |title=Kate Forbes' religious beliefs could stall her bid to succeed Sturgeon |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/feb/16/kate-forbes-sturgeon-successor-religious-beliefs |access-date=2023-02-19 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref>。与其他候选人相比,福布斯的立场被认为较为偏向[[中间主义]],而在整个民族党内部则较为偏右派<ref>{{cite news |title=SNP leadership contest: Who will replace Nicola Sturgeon as next party leader and Scotland's first minister? |url=https://news.sky.com/story/snp-leadership-contest-who-will-replace-nicola-sturgeon-as-next-party-leader-and-scotlands-first-minister-12815798 |first=Jennifer |last=Scott |date=2023-02-24 |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=Sky News |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":7">{{cite news |last=Sanderson |first=Daniel |date=2023-02-20 |title=Kate Forbes SNP campaign launch upstages Nicola Sturgeon's preferred successor |language=en-GB |work=The Telegraph |url-access=subscription |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/02/20/kate-forbes-launches-snp-leadership-campaign-time-humza-yousef/ |access-date=2024-04-17 |issn=0307-1235}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=2023-02-21 |title=Kate Forbes' stance on same-sex marriage hinders path to SNP victory |work=Financial Times |last=Bush |first=Stephen |url-access=subscription |url=https://www.ft.com/content/83638a69-7840-4586-883d-da21a79280f4 |access-date=2023-02-21}}</ref>,但福布斯本人表示如果当选,不会使民族党向右派转变<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thenational.scot/news/23366236.kate-forbes-rejects-idea-leadership-see-snp-shift-right/|title=Kate Forbes: I wouldn't represent 'shift to the right' as SNP leader|last=Elliards|first=Xander|date=2023-03-06|work=The National|access-date=2024-04-17|url-access=subscription}}</ref>。

年龄方面,福布斯参选时32岁,在所有候选人中最为年轻<ref>{{cite news |last1=Chantler-Hicks |first1=Lydia |last2=McLoughlin |first2=Bill |last3=Hassan |first3=Beril Naz |date=2023-02-22 |title=Who is Kate Forbes?

在福利问题上,福布斯认为斯特金的提议重点在于向英国政府施压,而不是公投本身<ref>{{Cite news |last1=Brooks |first1=Libby |date=2023-02-20 |title=Top SNP leadership candidates split over LGBT+ rights |language=en-GB |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/feb/20/top-scotland-leadership-candidates-split-over-lgbt-rights |access-date=2024-04-17 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref>,她本人更希望通过推动[[经济增长]]来实现独立<ref name=":9">{{Cite news |last=Cook |first=James |date=2023-02-21 |title=SNP leadership: Will faith turn the tide for Scottish independence? |language=en-GB |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-64713755 |access-date=2024-04-17}}</ref>。

另外,福布斯{{link-en|苏格兰自由教会 (1900年至今)|Free Church of Scotland (since 1900)|苏格兰自由教会}}成员的身份引起其他民族党党员担忧,因为该教会奉行[[加爾文主義]],对于堕胎及LGBT团体持[[社会保守主义]]立场<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Sanderson |first1=Daniel |last2=Hazell |first2=Will |date=2023-02-18 |title=Favourite to replace Nicola Sturgeon must 'defeat the wokerati' to lead SNP|work=The Telegraph |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/02/18/favourite-replace-nicola-sturgeon-must-defeat-wokerati-lead/ |access-date=2024-04-17 |issn=0307-1235 |url-access=subscription}}</ref>,并且反对同性婚姻和[[LGBT迴轉治療]]<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/23330975.greens-may-exit-snp-deal-kate-forbes-becomes-fm-prompting-election/|title=Scottish Greens may pull out of SNP deal if Forbes becomes FM prompting snap election|date=2023-02-19|last=Nutt|first=Kathleen|website=The Herald}}</ref>。福布斯回应指她“在某些事情上只跟随自己的信仰做决定,而不是完全听凭某个教会的驱使”<ref name="Allegretti" />,她表示对她宗教观点的批评是“非常狭隘”,属于想要攻击她的人的欲加之罪,这反而更加突出了她的能力、视野和经验<ref name=":8">{{Cite web |last=Green |first=Chris |date=2023-02-20 |title=SNP leadership contenders Kate Forbes and Humza Yousaf split on gender reforms |url=https://inews.co.uk/news/scotland/snp-leadership-election-kate-forbes-and-humza-yousaf-split-on-gender-reforms-2161777 |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=inews.co.uk |language=en}}</ref>。

2018年,福布斯在教会的一次早餐会上表示社会的进步应该用“未出生人群”的待遇来衡量,被认为是在暗指堕胎法案<ref name=":10">{{cite news |title=Ex-SNP minister blasts Kate Forbes's past comments on LGBT rights |url=https://www.thenational.scot/news/23331359.kate-forbes-slammed-past-lgbt-rights-comments-ex-snp-minister/ |last=Morrison |first=Hamish |date=2023-02-18 |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=The National}}</ref>。在正式参加党主席选举后,福布斯表示她如果在同性婚姻合法化投票当时是党主席,就不会投下支持票,不过如今木已成舟,她仍会选择认同相关法律<ref name=":8" /><ref>{{Cite web |title=Kate Forbes would have 'voted against gay marriage' in the Scottish Parliament |url=https://www.thenational.scot/news/23335035.kate-forbes-voted-gay-marriage-scotland/ |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=The National |date=2023-02-20 |language=en}}</ref>。此番言论导致福布斯部分支持者倒戈,包括商贸部部长{{link-en|理查德凱特·洛克海德|Richard Lochhead}}、儿童及青年部部长{{link-en|克莱尔·豪伊|Clare Haughey}}、苏格兰议会成员{{link-en|汤姆·亚瑟 (苏格兰)|Tom Arthur (Scottish politician)|汤姆·亚瑟}}以及后座议员{{link-en|吉丽安·马丁|Gillian Martin}}、[[德魯·亨德利]]<ref>{{cite news |title=SNP politicians drop support for Kate Forbes after 'hurtful' gay marriage opposition |last=Bol |first=David |date=2023-02-21 |url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/23335231.snp-politicians-drop-kate-forbes-support-gay-rights-opposition/ |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=The Herald |language=en}}</ref><ref name="bbclosesbackers" /><ref>{{cite news |date=2023-02-21 |title=Drew Hendry ends his support for Kate Forbes' SNP leadership bid |url=https://www.strathspey-herald.co.uk/news/drew-hendry-ends-his-support-for-kate-forbes-snp-leadership-304163/ |access-date=2024-04-17 |last=Dixon |first=Andrew |website=Strathspey Herald |language=en}}</ref>。福布斯后来回应称她只是想“用直接的答案回答直接的问题”,但同时亦表示对她的言论给部分人带来的伤害感到抱歉<ref name="bbclosesbackers" /><ref>{{cite news |title=Kate Forbes says her campaign to be Scotland's first minister 'not over' after equal marriage backlash |language=en-GB |last=Mitchell |first=Jenness |date=2023-02-21 |work=Sky News |url=https://news.sky.com/story/kate-forbes-says-her-campaign-for-scotlands-first-minister-not-over-after-equal-marriage-backlash-12816283 |access-date=2024-04-17}}</ref>。对于LGBT迴轉治療,福布斯认为法律也应该保障宗教人群的言论自由<ref>{{cite news |title=People of faith must be respected in any conversion therapy ban, says Kate Forbes |last=Hunter |first=Ross |date=2023-02-21 |url=https://www.thenational.scot/news/23336313.kate-forbes-conversion-therapy-ban-must-respect-people-faith/ |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=The National |language=en}}</ref>。

2月20日,福布斯表示她如果知道斯特金的性别认同法案是如今这种形式,她将不会对其作出支持,且如果不是因为产假,投票当时就会退出内阁以示抗议<ref>{{cite news |first=Kieran |last=Andrews |date=2023-02-21 |title=SNP leadership race: Kate Forbes pledges to defend LGBT rights despite religious views |newspaper=[[泰晤士报|The Times]] |language=en |url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/snp-leadership-kate-forbes-nicola-sturgeon-first-minister-wgkfshq6v |access-date=2024-04-17 |issn=0140-0460}}</ref>。她还表示不支持直接挑战英国为阻止该法案所使用的第35条法令,而是应该通过与英国政府协商来对法案作出修改<ref>{{cite news |title=SNP leadership - Forbes would not have backed gender reforms |date=2023-02-20 |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-scotland-64704134 |website=BBC News}}</ref>。

福布斯的一些观点也引发部分绿党成员担忧,他们认为福布斯上任后可能会威胁两党之间的分权协议<ref name="auto2" />,福布斯则回应称不会终止相关合作,但同时也不会为了迎合绿党而改变自己的经济计划<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/kate-forbes-i-would-have-voted-against-gay-marriage-says-snp-leadership-contender-4034704|title=Kate Forbes: 'I would have voted against gay marriage', says SNP leadership contender|last=Matchett|first=Conor|date=2023-02-21|newspaper=The Scotsman|url-access=subscription}}</ref>。

里根是性别认同法案的激烈反对者,她表示自己如果当选,将会把该法案废除,并会寻求设立新法案,将跨性别囚犯关到其所认同的性别的对应监狱<ref name=":1" />。同时里根表示支持同性婚姻<ref>{{cite news |date=2023-02-22 |title=Ash Regan says she supports right to equal marriage |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/humza-yousaf-nicola-sturgeon-first-minister-forbes-snp-b2287048.html |first=Lucinda |last=Cameron |access-date=2023-02-22 |website=The Independent |language=en}}</ref>。

里根还表示想放缓二氧化碳[[淨零排放]]的脚步,通过逐步禁止从[[北海 (大西洋)|大西洋北海]]开采石油和天然气的方式来实现这一目标<ref>{{cite news |last=Merson |first=Adele |title=Future of North Sea jobs becomes early battleground in SNP leadership race |date=2023-02-20 |url=https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/politics/scottish-politics/5417176/north-se-oil-gas-jobs-ash-regan/ |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=The Press and Journal |language=en-GB}}</ref>。与福布斯相同,里根也承诺当选后会尽快将A9公路和A96公路改建成复式车道<ref>{{cite news |last=Maclennan |first=Scott |date=2023-02-20 |title=SNP leadership candidate backs A9 and A96 dualling as a 'top priority' |url=https://www.strathspey-herald.co.uk/news/snp-leadership-candidate-backs-a9-and-a96-dualling-as-a-top-303985/ |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=Strathspey Herald |language=en}}</ref>。另外她还称不会颁布任何会“给商业领域带来障碍”和“干预家庭生活”的<ref name=":1" />,同时又表示会搁置“{{link-en|国民医疗服务|National Care Service}}”计划,转而寻求更多来自利益相关者的输入<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/23335165.ash-regan-will-immediately-pause-national-care-service-plans/ |date=2023-02-21 |title=Ash Regan will 'immediately pause' national care service plans if appointed FM |last=Bol |first=David |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=The Herald |language=en}}</ref>。基于里根的种种提议,她被认为是会在当选后对斯特金的政策改动最大的一名候选人<ref>{{Cite web |last=Grünewald |first=Zoë |date=2023-02-20 |title=Kate Forbes emerges as early favourite for SNP leadership |url=https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/scotland/2023/02/kate-forbes-emerges-favourite-snp-leadership-race |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=New Statesman |language=en-US}}</ref>。她还认为作为斯特金的丈夫,彼得·马雷尔的立场包含利益冲突在内<ref>{{cite news |last=Paton |first=Craig |date=2023-02-24 |title=Forbes, Regan and Yousaf confirmed as SNP leadership candidates |url=https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/kate-forbes-ash-regan-humza-yousaf-confirmed-snp-candidates-b1062912.html |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=Evening Standard |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=McLaughlin |first=Mark |date=2023-02-25 |title=Ash Regan accuses Sturgeon husband of 'conflict of interest' over vote |language=en |url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/nicola-sturgeon-husband-peter-murrell-snp-leadership-conflict-of-interest-fj8ttj2jb |work=The Times |access-date=2024-04-17 |url-access=subscription |issn=0140-0460}}</ref>。

=== 洪姆扎·尤薩夫 ===
尤萨夫与2月18日宣布参与竞选。他提出在推动公投或在性别认同法案方面挑战英国政府之前,他会优先给苏格兰独立本身提供更多支持<ref>{{cite news |last=Rodger |first=Hannah |date=2023-02-19 |title=Humza Yousaf runs for SNP leader and insists he is 'best person' to be FM |url=https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/humza-yousaf-runs-snp-leader-29252273 |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=Daily Record}}</ref>,其后又称会先向法律人士寻求关于性别认同法案的意见,如果对方推测无望胜诉,那么他将放弃与英国政府发起法律战<ref name="auto5">{{Cite news |last=Adu |first=Aletha |date=2023-03-21 |title=Humza Yousaf seems to backtrack over fight with UK government on gender recognition bill |language=en-GB |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/mar/21/humza-yousaf-seems-to-backtrack-over-fight-with-uk-government-on-gender-recognition-bill |access-date=2024-04-17 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref>。对于强奸犯艾拉·布莱森,尤萨夫认为其是谎称自己是变性人,以图被关进生活相对较好的女性监狱<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/snp-leadership-race-humza-yousaf-distances-himself-from-nicola-sturgeons-independence-strategy-4033984|title=SNP leadership race: Humza Yousaf distances himself from Nicola Sturgeon's independence strategy|last=Grant|first=Alistair|date=2023-02-20|work=The Scotsman}}</ref>。

尤萨夫表示在寻求公投方面会听取其他党员的意见,但他本人会更倾向于在政策方面提供支持,认为“如果独立的意愿植入到苏格兰人民之中,所有政治障碍都将随之消除”<ref name=":5">{{cite news |date=2023-02-20 |title=Humza Yousaf: I am concerned at using general election as de facto IndyRef2 |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/humza-yousaf-nicola-sturgeon-first-minister-clydebank-health-secretary-b2285829.html |last=McCurdy |first=Rebecca |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=The Independent |language=en}}</ref>。他认为将大选视为事实上公投的提议存在诸多问题,例如16岁及17岁的人根本无法投票<ref name="auto4" /><ref name=":9" />。尤萨夫还承诺当选后会在独立支持者和社会之间建立更多联系,并会设立一套“反驳服务”,为支持独立的观点提供辩护<ref>{{cite news |title=Humza Yousaf pledges SNP independence workshops and 'rebuttal service' |last=Bol |first=David |date=2023-03-05 |url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/23364135.humza-yousaf-pledges-independence-workshops-rebuttal-service/ |access-date=2024-04-17 |work=The Herald |language=en}}</ref>。关于与绿党的合作,尤萨夫则表示强烈支持继续执行两党之间的协议<ref>{{cite news |title=Humza Yousaf takes swipe at Kate Forbes over equal marriage position |url=https://www.thenational.scot/news/23335130.humza-yousaf-takes-swipe-kate-forbes-equal-marriage-position/ |last=Elliards |first=Xander |date=2023-02-20 |website=The National |access-date=2024-04-17 |language=en}}</ref>。

尤萨夫在2月20日于[[克萊德班克]]举行的的一次竞选活动中将自己描述为斯特金的合适接替者,能有效保证工作衔接的顺利性。外界也普遍将他视为与斯特金和党内机构最为一致的候选人<ref name=":7" />。但尤萨夫在公共卫生服务方面的政策曾经招致批评,在他的政策之下,寻求卫生服务的等待时间曾一度打破纪录,多名医生也纷纷发出安全警告<ref>{{cite news|date=2023-02-15|first=Philip|last=Sim|title=Who will replace Nicola Sturgeon as next SNP leader?|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-64648987|work=BBC News}}</ref>。尤萨夫则回应指就算换成其他人,这些问题也始终会存在,并强调自己与工会的有效谈判避免了罢工的行动的出现<ref>{{cite news |last=Andrews |first=Kieran |date=2023-02-21 |title=Humza Yousaf: It doesn't matter who runs NHS... problems are the same |newspaper=[[泰晤士报|The Times]] |language=en |url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/humza-yousaf-it-doesnt-matter-who-runs-nhs-problems-are-same-bcz0msfhp |access-date=2024-04-17 |url-access=subscription |issn=0140-0460}}</ref>。他并表示在当选首席部长后,会用自己的方法与卫生领域的各个部门谈判,确保每个行业都不会出现罢工<ref>{{cite web |date=2023-02-24 |title=Humza Yousaf: My ability to compromise makes me the best choice for leader |last=Taylor |first=Margaret |url=https://www.holyrood.com/inside-politics/view,humza-yousaf-my-ability-to-compromise-makes-me-the-best-choice-for-leader |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=Holyrood Website |language=en}}</ref>。对于公众对他在担任卫生部秘书时提出的将公共卫生服务工作从{{link-en|苏格兰地方政府|Local government in Scotland|地方政府}}转移到一个统一性组织的提议的批评,尤萨夫表示会考虑作出让步<ref>{{cite news |date=2023-02-22 |last=Taylor |first=Margaret |title=Humza Yousaf would overhaul National Care Service plan if elected first minister |url=https://www.holyrood.com/news/view,humza-yousaf-would-overhaul-national-care-service-plan-if-elected-as-first-minister |access-date=2024-04-18 |website=Holyrood Website |language=en}}</ref>。

尤萨夫在一次采访中曾表示如果他当选,会考虑将福布斯纳入内阁<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":13">{{Cite web |last=Hutcheon |first=Paul |date=2023-03-27 |title=Humza Yousaf to back wealth tax if he becomes Scotland's next First Minister |url=https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/humza-yousaf-back-wealth-tax-29553552 |access-date=2024-04-18 |website=Daily Record |language=en}}</ref>。但另一方面,尤萨夫希望能延续斯特金的[[進步主義]]政策,表示如果福布斯当选后转向保守,将会拒绝加入她的内阁<ref name=":6">{{cite news |last=Carrell |first=Severin |date=2023-02-20 |title=Humza Yousaf emerges as frontrunner to replace Nicola Sturgeon |language=en-GB |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/feb/20/humza-yousaf-emerges-frontrunner-replace-nicola-sturgeon |access-date=2024-04-18 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref>。

在同性婚姻方面,苏格兰议会曾在2014年颁布过一项有关此议题的《{{link-en|2014年苏格兰婚姻及民事伴侣关系法案|Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Act 2014|婚姻及民事伴侣关系法案}}》,尤萨夫在早期的投票阶段曾经为该法案投下支持,且一直在口头上表示接受<ref name=":11">{{cite news |title=Why Humza Yousaf missed equal marriage vote in 2014 |last=Morrison |first=Hamish |date=2023-02-21 |url=https://www.thenational.scot/news/23336139.humza-yousaf-missed-equal-marriage-vote-2014/ |access-date=2024-04-18 |website=The National |language=en}}</ref>,但是他最终缺席最终投票,给出的理由是一名苏格兰人因亵渎伊斯兰教而被巴基斯坦政府判处死刑,他需要与其他官员共同参与交涉<ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-02-24 |title=SNP leadership: Yousaf defends decision to miss gay marriage vote |language=en-GB |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-64762068 |access-date=2024-04-18}}</ref>。提出法案的{{link-en|亚历克斯·内尔 (政治人物)|Alex Neil (politician)|亚历克斯·内尔}}认为尤萨夫是受到了来自格拉斯哥教会方面的压力,在萨尔蒙德的授意下刻意避开投票<ref name=":11" /><ref>{{cite news |last=Gordon |first=Tom |date=2023-02-24 |title=Former SNP minister challenges Yousaf's gay marriage vote excuse |url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/23343460.former-snp-minister-challenges-yousafs-gay-marriage-vote-excuse/ |access-date=2024-04-18 |website=The Herald |language=en}}</ref>,尤萨夫回应称他已经就同性婚姻问题咨询过他所参与的群体(特别是穆斯林群体),得到的答复各有不同<ref>{{cite news |last1=McLaughlin |first1=Mark |last2=Koronka |first2=Poppy |title=Humza Yousaf: I consulted fellow Muslims on gay marriage vote |language=en |url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/humza-yousaf-i-consulted-fellow-muslims-on-gay-marriage-vote-5z0djr9m8 |date=2023-02-24 |work=The Times |access-date=2024-04-18 |url-access=subscription |issn=0140-0460}}</ref>,但不记得与萨尔蒙德有过任何关于那个投票的对话<ref>{{cite news |title=Humza Yousaf vehemently denies Alex Neil gay marriage claim |last=Learmonth |first=Andrew |date=2023-02-24 |url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/23346149.humza-yousaf-vehemently-denies-alex-neil-gay-marriage-claim/ |access-date=2024-04-18 |website=The Herald |language=en}}</ref>。他并表示自己虽然是穆斯林,但他的信仰不会影响他立法方面的立场<ref name=":6" />。随后萨尔蒙德也认为尤萨夫缺席投票的原因是受到宗教压力,对此民族党党员[[瑪麗·布萊克]]认为,萨尔蒙德的指控是出于他对尤萨夫对手的支持<ref>{{cite news |title=Mhairi Black hits back at Alex Salmond over 'below the belt' intervention in SNP leadership race |date=2023-03-03 |url=https://news.sky.com/story/mhairi-black-hits-back-at-alex-salmond-over-below-the-belt-intervention-in-snp-leadership-race-12824544 |last=Evans |first=Tomos |access-date=2024-04-18 |website=Sky News |language=en}}</ref>。

民生方面,尤萨夫将自己描述为一名[[社会主义]]者,表示他上任后的第一场会议会邀请反贫困团体,并会考虑引入财富税、额外利润税以及将部分可再生能源公有化<ref name=":13" />。他还表示计划加快为一到二岁儿童提供免费教育、在各地提供每周22小时的免费儿童保育服务,以此减轻在职父母的负担<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.scotsman.com/education/snp-leadership-contest-humza-yousaf-pledges-free-childcare-for-one-and-two-year-olds-in-scotland-if-he-succeeds-nicola-sturgeon-4044055|title=SNP leadership contest: Humza Yousaf pledges free childcare for one and two-year-olds in Scotland if he succeeds Nicola Sturgeon|last=Miller|first=Dale|date=2023-02-28|work=The Scotsman}}</ref>。

竞选期间,议会成员{{link-en|艾玛·哈珀|Emma Harper}}使用民族党邮件系统向大量党员发送邮件支持尤萨夫当选,引发广泛争议。同时哈珀的做法亦违反了民族党党的相关规定,需向所有候选人道歉<ref>{{Cite web |title=Emma Harper has email privileges suspended after breaking party rules |url=https://www.thenational.scot/news/23365022.emma-harper-email-privileges-suspended-breaking-snp-rules/ |access-date=2024-04-18 |website=The National |date=2023-03-06 |language=en}}</ref>。支持里根的议会成员喬安娜·切麗批评称这是民族党的“政党机器”支持尤萨夫一个例证,并指民族党高层一直希望是尤萨夫当选<ref>{{cite news |title=Cherry: SNP 'party machine' backing Yousaf in unfair party leadership contest |date=2023-03-06 |url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/23365020.joanna-cherry-claims-snp-party-machine-backing-humza-yousaf/ |last=Learmonth |first=Andrew |access-date=2024-04-18 |website=The Herald |language=en}}</ref>。尤萨夫对此作出反击,表示自己与其他候选人相比不存在任何额外优势,能够获得支持完全是凭借能力。另一名候选人福布斯也认为选举大致透明<ref>{{cite news |title=SNP’s ‘party machine’ is behind Humza Yousaf – Joanna Cherry |date=2023-03-06 |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/snp-forbes-scottish-nicola-sturgeon-kilmarnock-b2294804.html |access-date=2024-04-18 |website=The Independence |language=en}}</ref>。

第一场电视辩论于3月7日举行。辩论中,福布斯表示她会在下次英国大选举行后的三个月内寻求法律手段来实现苏格兰独立<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/kate-forbes-plans-swift-scottish-independence-referendum-rmxppqqdq|title=Kate Forbes plans swift Scottish independence referendum|first=David|last=McCann|date=2023-03-02|via=www.thetimes.co.uk|url-access=subscription}}</ref>。在第一场辩论中,福布斯批评尤萨夫在所有职务上的工作都非常失败<ref>{{cite news |date=2023-03-08 |title=The night the SNP leadership contest turned personal |language=en-GB |last=Sim |first=Philip |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-64887664 |access-date=9 March 2023}}</ref>,并认为当下的苏格兰政府非常“平庸”<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/mar/09/sturgeon-issues-warning-to-candidates-vying-to-be-next-snp-leader |last=Brooks |first=Libby |date=2023-03-09 |title=Sturgeon issues warning to candidates vying to be next SNP leader |language=en-GB |work=The Guardian |access-date=2024-04-18 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref>。福布斯的话语随即受到苏格兰保守党领袖[[道格拉斯·羅斯]]调侃,称如果别人也追溯一下福布斯的工作记录,她自己也会被气得“耳朵发热”,福布斯则反击称罗斯“甚至连平庸都算不上”<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/fmqs-nicola-sturgeon-defends-her-record-but-fails-to-mention-kate-forbes-directly-as-douglas-ross-says-finance-secretary-has-trashed-governments-performance-4057259 |last=Miller |first=Dale |date=2023-03-09 |title=FMQs: Nicola Sturgeon defends her record, but fails to mention Kate Forbes directly as Douglas Ross says finance secretary has 'trashed' Government's performance |language=en-GB |work=The Scotsman |access-date=2024-04-18 }}</ref>。当周稍后,罗斯在首席部长问答环节对福布斯在辩论中的话语作了引用,不过保守党在此之后才致信向福布斯说明<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/kate-forbes-humza-yousaf-forbes-snp-douglas-ross-b1066909.html |last=Paton |first=Craig |date=2023-03-14 |title=Tories ask permission to include Forbes attack in party political broadcast|language=en-GB |work=Evening Standard |access-date=2024-04-18 }}</ref>。

在[[格倫羅西斯]]辩论时,福布斯提出设立一项用于投资可回收能源的[[主权财富基金]],尤萨夫则提出让政府在未来所可再生能源计划中拥有10%的股权<ref>{{Cite web |title=Humza Yousaf calls for 'equity stake' in next ScotWind round at second hustings |url=https://www.thenational.scot/news/23362709.candidates-quizzed-energy-wealth-second-leadership-hustings/ |access-date=2024-04-18 |website=The National |date=2023-03-03 |language=en}}</ref>,

3月12日,一项{{link-en|瑟韦申|Survation}}民调结果显示本次参加民族党主席选举的选民人数达到近五年来最低,同时苏格兰独立的支持率也降至2018年秋以来最低。民调学者{{link-en|约翰·柯蒂斯|John Curtice}}认为这种情况的原因是福布斯和尤萨夫之间充满火药味的辩论让选民失去了兴趣<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/23380336.poll-shows-forbes-publics-choice-fm-support-falls-snp/ |title=Poll shows Forbes is Scots' choice for FM but support falls for SNP amid contest |last=Nutt |first=Kathleen |date=2023-03-12 |work=The Herald |access-date=2024-04-18 |language=en}}</ref>。

3月21日,尤萨夫和福布斯再次举行辩论。尤萨夫支持儿童尽早接受性别认同教育,并认为某些情况下不必告知家长,原因是曾有一名穆斯林年轻人告诉他如果他的父母知道他是个跨性别者,或许他的生活就不会如此顺利。福布斯则认为父母任何情况下都应该知情,且反对“[[性別指定]]”这一提法<ref name="auto5"/>。

===党员人数争议===
所有三名候选人都曾要求过民族党公布有权投票的党员人数,但一律遭到拒绝<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thenational.scot/news/23389520.snp-rebuff-calls-publish-party-membership-numbers/|title=SNP rebuff calls from leadership candidates to publish membership numbers|last=Elliards|first=Xander|date=2023-03-15|website=The National}}</ref>。早前有媒体报道民族党人数已经减少了大约30,000人。民族党媒体主管穆雷·富特表示这些报道不实。后来民族党对党员人数进行核实,富特起初坚称自己始终言行如一。但随着呼声越来越大,全国执行委员会最终在3月16日同意公开人数,结果显示截至2月15日,合格的党员人确实从2021年的104,000人降到了72,186人<ref name=hugemembershiploss />,富特也因此被迫辞职<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-64993032|title=SNP media chief Murray Foote resigns over membership dispute|work=BBC News |date=2023-03-17}}</ref>。其后民族党给斯特金的丈夫、行政长官彼得·马雷尔下达最后通牒,表示他也要为这件事情负责,最终马雷尔于3月18日也引咎辞职<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.sky.com/story/snp-chief-executive-peter-murrell-resigns-12836882|title=Nicola Sturgeon's husband Peter Murrell quits as SNP chief executive in face of no confidence threat|date=2023-03-18|website=Sky News|accessdate=2024-04-18}}</ref>。

选前主席英语Leader of the Scottish National Party

妮古拉·斯特金

當選主席英语Leader of the Scottish National Party

洪姆扎·尤薩夫

2023年苏格兰民族党主席选举于2023年2月至3月间举行,目的是选出新任苏格兰民族党主席,以接替即将退休的妮古拉·斯特金。本次选举共3名候选人,于2月24日确定为凱特·福布斯、阿什·里根和洪姆扎·尤薩夫。选举于3月27日结束,由尤萨夫取得胜利,其在第一轮和第二轮选举中的得票率分别为 48.2%和52.1%,其中由于候选人里根中途退出,第二轮的得票率乃重新分配的结果。3月28日,尤萨夫当选蘇格蘭首席部長[1]

此次选举是苏格兰民族党将近20年来第一次存在竞争的党魁选举,此前上一任主席妮古拉·斯特金在2014年的选举中是全票当选。选举期间,苏格兰议会媒体主管穆雷·富特和行政长官彼得·马雷尔英语Peter Murrell(同时是妮古拉·斯特金的丈夫)由于被指虚报党员人数,先后于3月17日及18日辞职[2]

背景

2014年被妮古拉·斯特金接替的亚历克斯·萨尔蒙德(右)

2004年,曾在1990年至2000年间担任民族党主席的亚历克斯·萨尔蒙德再度当选。2007年,民族党在议会选举英语2007 Scottish Parliament election中赢得多数选票和席位,萨尔蒙德成为新一任蘇格蘭首席部長。在2011年的议会选举英语2011 Scottish Parliament election中,民族党再次赢得多数席位,首次取得议会控制权,萨尔蒙德宣布将推动一次苏格兰独立公投[3]。公投最终于2014年举行,但55.3%的选民表示反对苏格兰独立,萨尔蒙德随即辞去民族党主席和首席部长职务部长[4][5],民族党因此再次举行主席选举,时任副主席及副首席部长妮古拉·斯特金全票当选[6]

斯特金带领民族党参加了2016年的议会选举,同时组建了一个少数党政府。2021年,斯特金再次带领民族党参加议会选举,并最终与绿党达成了一份分权协议英语Bute House Agreement。在斯特金的领导下,民族党分别在2015年、2017年、2019年的大选中三度赢得多数席位,其中2015年更赢得除3个席位以外的所有席位。斯特金向英国提出举行第二次独立公投英语Proposed second Scottish independence referendum,但英国最高法院于2022年宣布他们必须先取得威斯敏斯特方面的同意[7][8][9][10]。2022年5月25日,斯特金超过萨尔蒙德,成为在任时间最长的首席部长[11]

斯特金在布特大樓宣布打算退休,2023年2月15日

2023年2月15日,斯特金宣布计划从民族党主席和首席部长任上退休,而在此之前会等待选出继任者[12][13][14],且会在下届议会选举(预计在2026年举行)之前继续在议会工作[15]。斯特金并表示她选择辞职与“短期压力”无关,而是经过长期考虑后作出的决定[16]。3月2日,副首席部长约翰·斯文尼也宣布将在16年后离开政府[17]。虽然有呼声要求斯特金的丈夫、时任议会行政长官彼得·马雷尔也一并辞职,但马雷尔仍然继续留任[18][19][20],不过后来在3月18日也宣布辞职[2]

斯特金表示她在作出辞职决定时的一个考虑因素是民族党内部即将在2023年3月19日举办的一次特殊会议,这次会议主要讨论该党在寻求独立方面的策略。她还表示希望将下次大选或议会选举看作一次事实上的独立公投[21]。该计划在民族党内部引发争议[22],相当数量的党员对此提出反对[23],该党下议院领袖斯蒂芬·弗林英语Stephen Flynn (Scottish politician)等人更提出推迟特殊会议以及让斯蒂芬下台[24][25],他们的提议最终被民族党全国执行委员会部分采纳,后者于2023年2月16日决定将特殊会议推迟[26]

斯特金辞职前几年,民族党的党纪声誉曾经严重受损。2017年,苏格兰政府接到针对前任民族党主席亚历克斯·萨尔蒙德的性骚扰指控英语Alex Salmond scandal,经过三年的法律斗争后,萨尔蒙德于2020年被判无罪。这一判决结果引发各界怀疑,苏格兰议会为此特地组建了一个委员会英语Committee on the Scottish Government Handling of Harassment Complaints来调查政府对该案的处理。2021年,萨尔蒙德自行组建了一个阿爾巴黨,但未能取得任何议席。

斯特金辞职的时间与议会公布调查结果相差两年,当时议会通过的《苏格兰性别认同改革法案英语Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill》持续面临争议,民族党本身也正在接受舞弊调查[27][28]。另外,斯特金辞职两个月前,民族党在威斯敏斯特地区的领导层发生了一次变动英语2022 SNP Westminster leadership election,被视为斯特金政治盟友的伊恩·布萊克福德艾莉森·休里斯英语Alison Thewliss先后下台,其中布莱克福德否认是受到其他议员强迫[29][30]

斯特金辞职后,绿党称将会重新考虑是否继续履行分权协议[31]

议题

本次选举的议题主要集中在经济、苏格兰独立及性别认同法案改革等三个方面[32]

经济

选举前,民族党及其盟友绿党领导下的苏格兰政府所推行的禁止钻探新的石油及天然气资源、饮料瓶回收计划英语Container-deposit legislation、限制酒精类广告等措施被部分批评人士认为阻碍了苏格兰的发展。同时左派党派批评政府在经济管理方面奉行新自由主義、抛售绿色能源及支持设立自由港[32]

三名候选人中,凱特·福布斯被认为对商业领域最为友好。外界推测福布斯或阿什·里根中任何一人当选都会对民族党与绿党之间的分权协议构成威胁。三名候选人均表示不看好饮料瓶回收计划[32]

苏格兰独立

寻求苏格兰独立是民族党的中心目标,因此这一议题一直也被认为是这次选举的主要议题。

三名候选人中,阿什·里根所提出的方法最为激进[33],她表示她会把未来所有包括苏格兰和整个英国在内的议会选举视为事实上的独立公投,主张只要超过50%的选民支持独立,便无需再举行公投,而是直接开启与英国政府的谈判程序。凱特·福布斯和洪姆扎·尤薩夫也将独立当作博取支持的重要筹码,其中福布斯承诺会在当选后三个月内推动有公投,但未有说明具体策略[32]。同时三人均表示在下次英国大选举行之后的议会悬峙阶段,他们将对支持工党持开放态度,以为苏格兰议会换取执行独立公投的权利。但工党领袖凱爾·斯塔摩回应称在任何情况下都不会同意这样的协议[32]

性别认同法案改革

作为分权协议的一部分,斯特金曾致力于优先推动性别认同法案改革,但相关努力后来受到2019冠状病毒病疫情掣肘[34]。2022年12月,苏格兰议会通过了《苏格兰性别认同改革法案》,旨在让跨性别群体更改法律登记性别的过程更为容易。在民族党内部,有54人对该法案投下支持票,但亦有包括阿什·里根在内的9名成员反对。而凱特·福布斯则因产假而未参与投票,被外界视为倾向反对,但后来福布斯选择继续留任议会并表示支持该法案,与辞职抗议的阿什·里根形成对比[35][36][37]。洪姆扎·尤薩夫也对该法案表示支持[38]。该法案在荷里路德宫三读通过后,英国政府首次[39]动用1998年苏格兰法案第35条阻止法案呈送王室批准[40],苏格兰需要在4月中旬之前对第35条进行司法审查[41]

因为绿党强烈支持这次法案改革,故媒体认为民族党内部对该法案的争论可能会给两党之间的分权协议带来威胁[27][42]。来自绿党的两名政府部长表示如果该法案被撤销或是大幅修改,他们将以辞职的方式抗议[43]。又由于民族党在苏格兰议会中并非多数,因此如果绿党离开政府,民族党将很难执行议会事务,并可能被迫陷入临时选举[42]

斯特金宣布辞职后,里根及民族党议会成员喬安娜·切麗英语Joanna Cherry再次对改革法案提出反对,并提出应该允许最近才离开民族党的前成员重新加入并参与党魁选举[44] 。苏格兰副首席部长约翰·斯文尼回应称该提议“非常荒谬”,因为早已经有规则确定只有当下的党员才可以参与投票[45]

与此同时,民主党内部的LGBT人士表示他们对这次选举的开展方式以及选举中对LGBT群体的用词大感失望[46]

竞选过程

提名阶段

最初,前民族党下议院领导人及副主席安格斯·羅伯森被视为斯特金最可能的继任者[47],但其本人在2月20日表示家中孩子尚小,目前不会考虑参选[48]。曾一度被视为另一名潜在继任者的副首席部长约翰·斯文尼也在2月16日宣布没有参选意愿[49]。2月17日,有报道指该党成员祁布朗邁里·麥卡蘭英语Màiri McAllan将会加入竞争[50]。布朗于19日对此予以否认,并表示自己若想为该党提供更好的服务,留居副职会是更好的选择[51]。同日,麥卡蘭也表示不打算参选[52]

2月20日,凱特·福布斯正式宣布参选[53],外界推测加上两天前宣布参选的洪姆扎·尤薩夫和阿什·里根,最终的候选人将只有他们三人。尤萨夫被认为是当选后工作衔接最为顺利的候选人,因为只有他支持斯特金的性别认同改革法案;不过另一方面,他也没有对斯特金“将下次大选视为事实上的独立公投”的计划表示支持。里根虽然反对性别认同法案,但大体支持斯特金关于独立公投的主张,并且所提出的想法更为激进。而福布斯由于产假原因,没有出席上述两项议题的辩论,但后来也表示反对性别认同法案[54]。尤萨夫和福布斯对独立的看法大致相同,他们认为应该推动更多苏格兰内部人民支持独立,而不是寄希望于公投[55]。三人宣布参选后,相关赌盘人士推测福布斯最有可能胜出,尤萨夫居中,里根最可能落败[56][57]。2月21日,福布斯表示她本该在同性婚姻合法化的投票中投下反对,引发争议,一些她的支持者纷纷开始转向,但她本人回应称这对她的选举并未造成太大影响[58]

社会保障大臣本·麦克菲尔逊英语Ben Macpherson (politician)于2月22日表示有人鼓励他参与这次选举,但已被他婉拒[59][60]。2月23日,选举进入首席部长提问阶段英语First Minister's Questions (Scottish Parliament),保守党和工党在会上对尤萨夫在公共卫生服务方面的管理提出批评[61]

凱特·福布斯

斯特金宣布辞职时,福布斯的职位是金融秘书,且当时由于产假原因不在现场。她于2月20日宣布竞选党主席,在宣布之初被认为是最有望获选者[62]。与其他候选人相比,福布斯的立场被认为较为偏向中间主义,而在整个民族党内部则较为偏右派[63][64][65],但福布斯本人表示如果当选,不会使民族党向右派转变[66]

年龄方面,福布斯参选时32岁,在所有候选人中最为年轻[67]

在福利问题上,福布斯认为斯特金的提议重点在于向英国政府施压,而不是公投本身[68],她本人更希望通过推动经济增长来实现独立[69]

另外,福布斯苏格兰自由教会英语Free Church of Scotland (since 1900)成员的身份引起其他民族党党员担忧,因为该教会奉行加爾文主義,对于堕胎及LGBT团体持社会保守主义立场[70],并且反对同性婚姻和LGBT迴轉治療[71]。福布斯回应指她“在某些事情上只跟随自己的信仰做决定,而不是完全听凭某个教会的驱使”[62],她表示对她宗教观点的批评是“非常狭隘”,属于想要攻击她的人的欲加之罪,这反而更加突出了她的能力、视野和经验[72]

2018年,福布斯在教会的一次早餐会上表示社会的进步应该用“未出生人群”的待遇来衡量,被认为是在暗指堕胎法案[73]。在正式参加党主席选举后,福布斯表示她如果在同性婚姻合法化投票当时是党主席,就不会投下支持票,不过如今木已成舟,她仍会选择认同相关法律[72][74]。此番言论导致福布斯部分支持者倒戈,包括商贸部部长理查德凱特·洛克海德英语Richard Lochhead、儿童及青年部部长克莱尔·豪伊英语Clare Haughey、苏格兰议会成员汤姆·亚瑟英语Tom Arthur (Scottish politician)以及后座议员吉丽安·马丁英语Gillian Martin德魯·亨德利[75][58][76]。福布斯后来回应称她只是想“用直接的答案回答直接的问题”,但同时亦表示对她的言论给部分人带来的伤害感到抱歉[58][77]。对于LGBT迴轉治療,福布斯认为法律也应该保障宗教人群的言论自由[78]

2月20日,福布斯表示她如果知道斯特金的性别认同法案是如今这种形式,她将不会对其作出支持,且如果不是因为产假,投票当时就会退出内阁以示抗议[79]。她还表示不支持直接挑战英国为阻止该法案所使用的第35条法令,而是应该通过与英国政府协商来对法案作出修改[80]

福布斯认为自我性别认同英语Gender self-identification不足以获得广泛认可[72][81]。当被问及跨性別女性是否是女性时,她回答说“跨性别女性只是自认为是女性,在生理上仍是男性”[82]。此番言论引起民族党LGBT+人士召集人之一埃里克·卢科斯不满,后者向民族党高层表示这样的话语符合该党对跨性別恐懼的定义[83]。另外,福布斯认为跨性别强奸犯艾拉·布莱森英语Isla Bryson case是一名男性[84]

福布斯的一些观点也引发部分绿党成员担忧,他们认为福布斯上任后可能会威胁两党之间的分权协议[42],福布斯则回应称不会终止相关合作,但同时也不会为了迎合绿党而改变自己的经济计划[85]

在选举开始的前两天因为媒体上的言论引发争议后,福布斯于2月22日请假,随后在第二天发表声明称她已细心听取各方意见,承诺今后会更加注意维护少数人群的合法权益[86][87]

在住房问题上,福布斯表示她会新成立一个政府组织在苏格兰各地建造房屋,并会允许各级政府对无人居住的二手房征收更高的地方税英语Council Tax in Scotland[88]。她并承诺会在任内将A9和A96车道该建成复式车道,以使高地民众的出行更为顺畅[89]

另一个反对福布斯的党内人士为该党在威斯敏斯特地区的副主席瑪麗·布萊克,她认为如果福布斯当选,民族党可能会分裂成多个派系[90]

阿什·里根

里根在2月18日宣布参选,并在24日于北昆斯费里英语North Queensferry正式开始筹备[91][92]

里根是性别认同法案的激烈反对者,她表示自己如果当选,将会把该法案废除,并会寻求设立新法案,将跨性别囚犯关到其所认同的性别的对应监狱[91]。同时里根表示支持同性婚姻[93]

在独立问题方面,她表示只要支持苏格兰独立的政党在下次任一议会选举中获得超过一半的选票,她将直接开始与英国政府进行谈判[94]。她还表示她会与支持苏格兰独立的政党组建一个制宪议会[95]。她认为民族党长期以来“脱离统一阵营” ,她将致力于做出改变,让支持独立的政党在决定苏格兰命运中发挥更大作用[96]

里根被认为与萨尔蒙德的阿尔巴党较为亲近,因为她的竞选由一名曾在去年与民族党竞争的阿尔巴党成员负责[97],而唯一支持她的民族党议员喬安娜·切麗也被认为与萨尔蒙德关系较近。里根后来否认了这一说法,表示自己没有兴趣加入阿尔巴党,未来也不会考虑加入[98]; 但在得票率长期居于末尾后,里根在不到六个月后就转到了阿尔巴党,成为首位直接转换党派的议会成员[99]

里根还表示想放缓二氧化碳淨零排放的脚步,通过逐步禁止从大西洋北海开采石油和天然气的方式来实现这一目标[100]。与福布斯相同,里根也承诺当选后会尽快将A9公路和A96公路改建成复式车道[101]。另外她还称不会颁布任何会“给商业领域带来障碍”和“干预家庭生活”的[91],同时又表示会搁置“国民医疗服务英语National Care Service”计划,转而寻求更多来自利益相关者的输入[102]。基于里根的种种提议,她被认为是会在当选后对斯特金的政策改动最大的一名候选人[103]。她还认为作为斯特金的丈夫,彼得·马雷尔的立场包含利益冲突在内[104][105]

3月中旬,里根表示她不像其他两名候选人一样家中有年纪太小的孩子,当选后可以把更多精力放在工作上[106]

洪姆扎·尤薩夫

尤萨夫与2月18日宣布参与竞选。他提出在推动公投或在性别认同法案方面挑战英国政府之前,他会优先给苏格兰独立本身提供更多支持[107],其后又称会先向法律人士寻求关于性别认同法案的意见,如果对方推测无望胜诉,那么他将放弃与英国政府发起法律战[108]。对于强奸犯艾拉·布莱森,尤萨夫认为其是谎称自己是变性人,以图被关进生活相对较好的女性监狱[109]

尤萨夫表示在寻求公投方面会听取其他党员的意见,但他本人会更倾向于在政策方面提供支持,认为“如果独立的意愿植入到苏格兰人民之中,所有政治障碍都将随之消除”[110]。他认为将大选视为事实上公投的提议存在诸多问题,例如16岁及17岁的人根本无法投票[54][69]。尤萨夫还承诺当选后会在独立支持者和社会之间建立更多联系,并会设立一套“反驳服务”,为支持独立的观点提供辩护[111]。关于与绿党的合作,尤萨夫则表示强烈支持继续执行两党之间的协议[112]

尤萨夫在2月20日于克萊德班克举行的的一次竞选活动中将自己描述为斯特金的合适接替者,能有效保证工作衔接的顺利性。外界也普遍将他视为与斯特金和党内机构最为一致的候选人[64]。但尤萨夫在公共卫生服务方面的政策曾经招致批评,在他的政策之下,寻求卫生服务的等待时间曾一度打破纪录,多名医生也纷纷发出安全警告[113]。尤萨夫则回应指就算换成其他人,这些问题也始终会存在,并强调自己与工会的有效谈判避免了罢工的行动的出现[114]。他并表示在当选首席部长后,会用自己的方法与卫生领域的各个部门谈判,确保每个行业都不会出现罢工[115]。对于公众对他在担任卫生部秘书时提出的将公共卫生服务工作从地方政府英语Local government in Scotland转移到一个统一性组织的提议的批评,尤萨夫表示会考虑作出让步[116]

尤萨夫在一次采访中曾表示如果他当选,会考虑将福布斯纳入内阁[110][117]。但另一方面,尤萨夫希望能延续斯特金的進步主義政策,表示如果福布斯当选后转向保守,将会拒绝加入她的内阁[118]

在同性婚姻方面,苏格兰议会曾在2014年颁布过一项有关此议题的《婚姻及民事伴侣关系法案英语Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Act 2014》,尤萨夫在早期的投票阶段曾经为该法案投下支持,且一直在口头上表示接受[119],但是他最终缺席最终投票,给出的理由是一名苏格兰人因亵渎伊斯兰教而被巴基斯坦政府判处死刑,他需要与其他官员共同参与交涉[120]。提出法案的亚历克斯·内尔英语Alex Neil (politician)认为尤萨夫是受到了来自格拉斯哥教会方面的压力,在萨尔蒙德的授意下刻意避开投票[119][121],尤萨夫回应称他已经就同性婚姻问题咨询过他所参与的群体(特别是穆斯林群体),得到的答复各有不同[122],但不记得与萨尔蒙德有过任何关于那个投票的对话[123]。他并表示自己虽然是穆斯林,但他的信仰不会影响他立法方面的立场[118]。随后萨尔蒙德也认为尤萨夫缺席投票的原因是受到宗教压力,对此民族党党员瑪麗·布萊克认为,萨尔蒙德的指控是出于他对尤萨夫对手的支持[124]

民生方面,尤萨夫将自己描述为一名社会主义者,表示他上任后的第一场会议会邀请反贫困团体,并会考虑引入财富税、额外利润税以及将部分可再生能源公有化[117]。他还表示计划加快为一到二岁儿童提供免费教育、在各地提供每周22小时的免费儿童保育服务,以此减轻在职父母的负担[125]

竞选期间,议会成员艾玛·哈珀英语Emma Harper使用民族党邮件系统向大量党员发送邮件支持尤萨夫当选,引发广泛争议。同时哈珀的做法亦违反了民族党党的相关规定,需向所有候选人道歉[126]。支持里根的议会成员喬安娜·切麗批评称这是民族党的“政党机器”支持尤萨夫一个例证,并指民族党高层一直希望是尤萨夫当选[127]。尤萨夫对此作出反击,表示自己与其他候选人相比不存在任何额外优势,能够获得支持完全是凭借能力。另一名候选人福布斯也认为选举大致透明[128]

竞选演讲

民族党起初打算只向党内成员提供竞选演讲视频[129][130],但此计划因批评声浪过大而很快被推翻[131]

第一场电视辩论于3月7日举行。辩论中,福布斯表示她会在下次英国大选举行后的三个月内寻求法律手段来实现苏格兰独立[132]。在第一场辩论中,福布斯批评尤萨夫在所有职务上的工作都非常失败[133],并认为当下的苏格兰政府非常“平庸”[134]。福布斯的话语随即受到苏格兰保守党领袖道格拉斯·羅斯调侃,称如果别人也追溯一下福布斯的工作记录,她自己也会被气得“耳朵发热”,福布斯则反击称罗斯“甚至连平庸都算不上”[135]。当周稍后,罗斯在首席部长问答环节对福布斯在辩论中的话语作了引用,不过保守党在此之后才致信向福布斯说明[136]

格倫羅西斯辩论时,福布斯提出设立一项用于投资可回收能源的主权财富基金,尤萨夫则提出让政府在未来所可再生能源计划中拥有10%的股权[137]

3月12日,一项瑟韦申英语Survation民调结果显示本次参加民族党主席选举的选民人数达到近五年来最低,同时苏格兰独立的支持率也降至2018年秋以来最低。民调学者约翰·柯蒂斯认为这种情况的原因是福布斯和尤萨夫之间充满火药味的辩论让选民失去了兴趣[138]

3月21日,尤萨夫和福布斯再次举行辩论。尤萨夫支持儿童尽早接受性别认同教育,并认为某些情况下不必告知家长,原因是曾有一名穆斯林年轻人告诉他如果他的父母知道他是个跨性别者,或许他的生活就不会如此顺利。福布斯则认为父母任何情况下都应该知情,且反对“性別指定”这一提法[108]

党员人数争议

所有三名候选人都曾要求过民族党公布有权投票的党员人数,但一律遭到拒绝[139]。早前有媒体报道民族党人数已经减少了大约30,000人。民族党媒体主管穆雷·富特表示这些报道不实。后来民族党对党员人数进行核实,富特起初坚称自己始终言行如一。但随着呼声越来越大,全国执行委员会最终在3月16日同意公开人数,结果显示截至2月15日,合格的党员人确实从2021年的104,000人降到了72,186人[140],富特也因此被迫辞职[141]。其后民族党给斯特金的丈夫、行政长官彼得·马雷尔下达最后通牒,表示他也要为这件事情负责,最终马雷尔于3月18日也引咎辞职[142]

选举过程

民族党的章程规定候选人必须获得来自至少20个支部的至少100名党员的提名才能参选[15],同时截至2023年2月15日仍然拥有该党身份的成员都具有投票资格[143]。选举采取一人一票制,且选票可以转让(即可转移单票制[144]

民族党全国执行委员会于2023年2月16日发布选举时间表,同日开启候选人提名,至2月24日结束[145]。投票阶段于3月27日开始,至3月27日结束,结束当天由该党全国秘书洛娜·芬恩公布结果[143][146]。候选人最多只能在选举上花费5000英镑,同时最多只从单一个体接受50英镑的捐赠,且不得接受无投票资格者的捐赠[147]。民族党官方允许候选人参加电视直播辩论,所有三名候选人也都表示乐意参加[148]

部分人士认为此次选举的时间安排存在问题。《泰晤士报》专栏作家亚历克斯·马西英语Alex Massie (journalist)认为过短的时间安排可能会给资历较老的候选人创造优势[45]。福布斯的支持者则认为由于她在参选前刚刚休完产假,这样的安排对她不利[149]

投票人员构成方面,民族党共有72,186 名党员[140],最近的一次调研(2019年)显示该党男性占比58%。与民族党的支持者和全体选民相比,民族党党员更为倾向自由主义,同时立场较为偏左[150]

选举结果

在本次选举中,洪姆扎·尤萨夫在第二轮中以52%的得票率胜出,凯特·福布斯居次。由于阿什·里根在第一轮被淘汰,故将其列为第二候选人的选票在第二轮被平均分配给尤萨夫和福布斯[201][202]

此次选举一共派发了50,494张选票,与民族党总人数72,169人相比,参选率69.97%。在所有选票中,共有48,645张电子票和1,849张实体票,实体票中有3张被拒收[201][202]

后续

尤萨夫的内阁成员,其中没有任何福布斯的支持者

本次选举被BBC等一些媒体视为民族党内部已出现严重分裂的一个见证[203][201]。BBC将尤萨夫的胜利描述为“微弱优势当选”(razor-thin)[204]。尤萨夫在胜选后的演讲中也强调了民族党需要团结的问题[205]

选举结束当天,绿党方面表示支持尤萨夫成为新一任首席部长[206][207]。3月28日,即选举结束的第二天,尤萨夫正式当选首席部长,成为自该职位自1999年设立以来,第一位当选的有色人种和穆斯林[208][209]

尤萨夫在当选后曾邀请福布斯进入内阁,并愿意将农村事务交给后者管理,但遭到后者拒绝。福布斯更于议会宣布尤萨夫将就任新一任首席部长的几小时后宣布离开政府,但她后来亦在Twitter上表示相信尤萨夫能够胜任[210]

尤萨夫的在任命政府官员时,没有指定任何之前支持福布斯的人士[211]

2023年10月,选举候选人之一里根加入阿尔巴党,她表示离开民族党的原因是她对民族党领导层已经不抱希望以及感觉到民族党对独立的追求已经减弱[212]
