Welsh First Minister Vaughan Gething Resigns After 118 Days Amid Campaign Donation Scandal
Jul 16, 2024, 11:38 AM
Vaughan Gething has announced his resignation as Welsh First Minister and leader of the Welsh Labour Party after just 118 days in office. His decision follows the resignation of four of his cabinet members—Mick Antoniw, Julie James, Lesley Griffiths, and Jeremy Miles—in protest against his leadership. Gething's tenure was marred by a scandal involving campaign donations and a recent leak scandal. Despite losing a vote of confidence, he initially clung to his position. Gething, who made history as the first Black leader of Wales, stated that the allegations against him were politically motivated and untrue. Plaid Cymru has called for a snap Senedd election in light of his resignation.
