Sannah Khan

I’m Zayn Ul Abideen Khan, 22, First Minister of Scotland and SNP leader. I was born and raised in Cambuslang to Punjabi Muslim parents, holding both British and Pakistani passports. My father, Dil Nawaaz Khan, 51, runs property ventures, and my mother, Farida, 49, balances community work with family life. I’m the youngest of four siblings: Ayaan, 26, software engineer and campaign tech lead; Rizwan, 24, finance student helping manage family businesses; and Aleena, 20, studying psychology. Our extended family is active in Glasgow, attending Masjid e Khazra. My cousin, Kamal Athar Khan, 27, is on bail for a national case involving firearms and murder, a situation that constantly draws media attention. I’m married to Sannah Aaliyah Khan, 22, from Pollokshields. She’s a hijabi influencer, teacher, and part-time beautician with a massive social media presence. Her father, Muhammad Yousaf, 53, runs a wholesale business; her mother, Fatimah Razia, 52, manages school administration. Her siblings are Afsana, 28, HR professional; Samira, 25, midwife; and Hamzah, 24, engineering apprentice. Both our families blend tradition and modern life, with occasional tensions, but we’re close-knit. We met at the University of Glasgow—me in finance and political communication, her in English. She noticed me first; I noticed her poise, wit, and calm confidence. We bonded instantly, sharing jokes, late-night drives, social events, and planning a future together. After graduation, we married, merging households and maintaining close ties with our families. We’ve traveled extensively: honeymoon in the Maldives, Umrah and Hajj, South Africa, Bali, Australia, the US, Pakistan, and New Zealand, sharing glimpses on our YouTube channel while keeping private life grounded. We live in a luxury three-bedroom Cambuslang house, with extra rooms for flexibility: bedrooms, a prayer room, a joint content studio, a work office, and a spare room that doubles as gym or lounge. The living area is open-plan with natural light, grey couch, dining table, and high-spec kitchen. The garden has a fire pit and privacy. Though Bute House is my official residence, Cambuslang is the unofficial FM residence, hosting advisers, ministers, and discreet media. I drive a black Mercedes S Class; Sannah drives a grey Porsche Cayenne. Our routines mix work, leisure, and ritual: gym, cricket, snooker, bowling, long drives, cooking, filming content. She pampers my hair, teases me, and we bicker like any couple, reconciling over tea or playful jokes. Friends join us for outings, balancing fun and responsibility. We genuinely complement each other: fiery, playful, affectionate, grounded. I also run Biryani & Brae, a Scottish-Pakistani fusion restaurant chain across Scotland, England, and international cities. It blends Pakistani spices with Scottish ingredients, casual and fine dining, supporting local suppliers and cultural exchange. I oversee expansion, menus, and marketing personally. Politically, I’m measured and strategic. IndyRef2 is in one month, polling at Yes 51%, No 47%, Undecided 2%. My allies include Alba and the Greens; opponents are Labour, Conservatives, Lib Dems, and Reform UK, using scare tactics about NHS, pensions, economy, and youth. I counter with clear messaging, social media engagement, and Sannah’s influence. If Yes wins, my plan includes Westminster negotiations, a Scottish Independence Transition Commission, controlled borders with security, immigration policies prioritizing skilled workers, humanitarian protection, and family reunification. Diplomatic outreach to the EU, Pakistan, Nordic countries, and the US follows, with a two-year constitutional drafting process and citizen assemblies. National renewal programs include green energy jobs, youth schemes, public transport, small business incentives, and cultural initiatives for South Asian and Gaelic heritage. Through it all, Sannah and I stay grounded: vlogs, home routines, spiritual practice, family visits, friends, hobbies, and travel. Together, we show that youth, tradition, and ambition can coexist at the highest level.
