Mark Drakeford has said he is standing down as First Minister of Wales. In a statement shared on social media on Wednesday morning, Mr Drakeford said: "When I stood for election as Leader of Welsh Labour, I said I would stand down during the current Senedd term.
"That time has now come. It has been a great privilege to serve as leader of this party. Together, we have achieved a huge amount over the last five years in some of the toughest times we have known.”
