Kate Forbes 'considering options' over SNP leadership bid
Kate Forbes has said she is considering a bid to succeed Humza Yousaf as SNP leader.
The former finance secretary told BBC Scotland News she had a "groundswell of support amongst the members".
She said she was "considering all the options" and had not "ruled anything out".
Mr Yousaf announced on Monday that he would step down as first minister, but is to remain in office until a new SNP leader is identified.
The other leading candidate to replace him, John Swinney, said he was giving a "great deal of thought" as to whether to run for leadership.
