The UK s largest Islamic group has chosen a 29-year-old human rights law graduate as its first ever female leader.
Zara Mohammed, from Glasgow, has become the first woman Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) after a week of voting.
Training and development consultant Ms Mohammed said she hopes her election will inspire more women and young people to take on leadership positions as they are the future of this organisation .
Ms Mohammed - who has worked with several Scottish charities - has shared pictures of her posing with Sadiq Khan and Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
In a photo taken during a dinner in June 2019, she said getting a selfie with the London Mayor was her favourite part of the evening.
The Scottish Government is expected to pass a referendum bill in June.
Mr Russell said: “Best practice suggests that six months should expire between the legislation and the referendum.
“That is because electoral administrators need time to put in systems, but I do hope the new parliament moves without too much delay to that.”
One Express.co.uk reader commented: The next referendum should include everyone in the union, not just the Scots .
