The Deputy First Minister of Scotland is the deputy to the First Minister of Scotland. The post is currently held by Nicol Stephen.
The Additional Member System used to elect Members of the Scottish Parliament makes it difficult for a single party to have an absolute majority, and the Scottish Executive has since 1999 been formed by a Labour and Liberal Democrat coalition. The First Minister is appointed from the majority coalition partner (Labour) and the Deputy First Minister from the minority partner (Liberal Democrats). During the illness of the first First Minister, Donald Dewar, the Deputy First Minister took over the running of the Executive. It has been pointed out that the title is not in line with traditional Scottish usage, which uses the form "Depute" in preference to "Deputy". List of Deputy First Ministers
