"Vaughan Gething Makes History as Wales' First Black Leader in European Government"

Vaughan Gething has been elected as the first Black leader of a government in the U.K., becoming the new first minister of Wales. With 27 out of 51 votes in the Welsh parliament, Gething, who has a Welsh father and Zambian mother, emphasized the importance of celebrating differences and unity. His appointment is pending approval by King Charles III, making three of the U.K.'s four governments led by nonwhite leaders, marking the first time there are no White male heads of government in the U.K.
