Speaking on BBC Good Morning Scotland, party leader Anas Sarwar said: “The principle of our proposal still stands.”
He added: “I don’t believe the SNP can provide a stable, competent government – ​​it is misguided and non-governmental, which is why a change of government is needed.
“When Rishi Sunak took over [as Prime Minister] by Liz Truss, Nicola Sturgeon said the Downing Street door was not a revolving door or playing the part of one party and the same is true here.”
If a majority of Members of Parliament support the Scottish Labor proposal, the First Minister and his ministers will need to resign.
Holyrood would then have 28 days to agree a new administration. If that did not happen, then there would be an extraordinary election.
Mr Sarwar said he was “ready” for a vote: “I will take it tomorrow – we have the right priorities and we are ready to go financially and our campaign machine.”

Meanwhile, in a statement, Douglas Ross said the Tories had formally withdrawn their confidence motion.
He said: “I am delighted that the Scottish Conservatives’ motion of no confidence in Humza Yousaf has served its purpose by forcing him to resign.
“While, on a personal level, I wish him well for the future, he was a disaster as First Minister and it is for the good of Scotland that he is going.
“The next aim for my party is to eliminate this squabble, the failure of the SNP government and to turn the focus away from their obsession with independence and onto the real priorities of the public – such as growing the economy and improving public services which are suffering from the sickness of Scotland.
“Since it has been done with respect to Humza Yousaf, we no longer need to proceed with a debate on our motion of no confidence.
“As a result, we have formally withdrawn it and asked the parliamentary office instead to set aside that time for a statement from the Lord Advocate on the Post Office scandal.”
