After months of turmoil, Welsh Labour has elected a new leader, its second in just five months and third this year. The contest was triggered by the resignation of Vaughan Gething, who was forced out after four senior politicians in his government resigned.
Eluned Morgan is the first woman to lead Welsh Labour and, as a result, is expected to become Wales’s first female head of government. The current cabinet secretary for health, social care and Welsh language, Baroness Morgan of Ely will also become the first peer to lead a government in the UK since Alec Douglas-Home in 1963.
