Rabat – Having lost the Scottish referendum on independence, Alex Salmond said he would resign as First Minister of Scotland and would not seek reelection as leader of the Scottish National Party at the party conference due in November, according to a report by AP.
“For me as leader my time is nearly over but for Scotland the campaign continues and the dream will never die,” Salmond told reporters in Edinburgh.
“I am immensely proud of the campaign that Yes Scotland fought and particularly of the 1.6 million voters who rallied to that cause.” He added.
“After the membership ballot I will stand down as first minister to allow the new leader to be elected,” he said.
