Nicola Sturgeon has been the leader of the SNP and the Scottish First Minister for over eight years but she has now resigned from her position.

I will remain in office until my successor is elected” and added: “My decision comes from a place of duty and love.” What is Nicola Sturgeon net worth?
Nicola Sturgeon has an estimated fortune of £1.2million, according to celebrity and net worth site Ghgossip.

Sturgeon and her husband live in an impressive 18th-century home located on the north side of Charlotte Square, in Edinburgh.
The four-storey Georgian mansion Bute House has a working space on the lower floors and a private five-bedroom flat on the upper floors.
Nicola Sturgeon married Peter Murrell, the Chief Executive Officer of the SNP, in 2010 but the couple has been together since 2003.
The couple do not have any children and she recently spoke about her experience saying: “If you are a woman, particularly in a senior position without children, there is an assumption made that you’re a cold-hearted b**** that has decided to prioritise your career over having children.
“Men don’t get that. The perfect illustration is [Alex] Salmond – I can’t recall a single interview that he did in his entire time as First Minister or SNP leader about why he didn’t have children,” she said during an interview with The Guardian.
Reacting to the news of her resignation, SNP MP for Glasgow Central Alison Thewliss said that she was “absolutely gutted”.
On Twitter, Thewliss who is also the party’s home affairs spokesperson, described Ms Sturgeon as an “incredible leader”.
