Humza Yousaf will refuse to enter an electoral pact with Alex Salmond’s party that could have seen the SNP step aside in some Scottish seats, Sky News understands.
The Alba Party, headed by Mr Salmond, is likely to have the deciding vote in a key vote of no confidence in the SNP first minister at Holyrood this week.
Mr Salmond told Sky News’ Trevor Phillips his party would be "prepared to assist" Mr Yousaf in a no-confidence vote "as long as independence is restored as the key priority of the Scottish government".
