"Vaughan Gething's Bid to Succeed Mark Drakeford as Wales's First Minister"

Vaughan Gething, the Welsh government's economy minister and former health minister during the COVID pandemic, has announced his candidacy to become the leader of the Labour Party in Wales and potentially the first minister of Wales. The contest was triggered by the resignation of Mark Drakeford, who held the position for five years. Other potential candidates include Eluned Morgan and Jeremy Miles, while Andrew Morgan has expressed support for Miles.
