THE Welsh Parliament has been recalled during its summer break to nominate a new first minister of Wales following Vaughan Gething’s resignation.

Eluned Morgan has succeeded him as the new leader of Welsh Labour and is expected to become first minister of Wales following a formal vote in the Senedd.

In a statement, Mr Gething said: “I have today written to the Llywydd (Presiding Officer), in accordance with standing order 12.3, to request arrangements are made to recall the Senedd on August 6 to nominate a new first minister.
