HUMZA Yousaf, Ash Regan and Kate Forbes have now all officially announced their intention to run to be the SNP’s next leader.
Candidates now have until Friday to receive more than the threshold of 100 nominations from at least 20 local branches to get on the ballot.
There is still time for someone else to enter the race although it is likely that the current candidates will be the final three.
Regan and Yousaf launched their bids in the Sunday Mail while Forbes launched her campaign on Monday morning.
This came shortly after Angus Robertson joined his colleagues Neil Gray, Keith Brown and Màiri McAllan in ruling themselves out of the contest.
