Testimonials
Shannon Neill
"I first formally met Humza during a debate around Scottish Independence in my school, which Humza going head-to-head with Johann Lamont. Not only did he come across as an eloquent, passionate and humbled politician, but he resonated with the likes of the young people in Pollok. Witty, humorous
and light-hearted, Humza left us impressed and much more engaged with politics. We need more politicians like him. An individual who is not only a talented statesperson, but a grounded and relatable guy, someone you could strike up a conversation with.
A vote for the SNP is a vote for change, not artificial change behind a smokescreen. Change that will help better the lives of those who live in the Pollok constituency and throughout Scotland. I will be placing my trust and support into Humza, a man who will challenge the unnecessary pain of austerity and work tirelessly for Pollok, and make sure the needs of his constituents are at the heart of his work as an MSP."

Humza has a strong proven track record in standing up for the decisions that effect all of us in our everyday lives. Humza’s main attribute is his passion about

"Humza Yousaf is a very hard working local MSP, and although he is a Scottish Government minister he still devotes plenty of time to local groups and constituents. He is knowledgeable about important local issues as well as becoming an important player on the international stage. Humza is popular with young and old and can communicate with people at any level.
