Welsh Tory leader resigns after narrowly surviving no-confidence vote
Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Andrew RT Davies, makes a speech on the steps of the Senedd as farmers protested over planned changes to farming subsidies, February 28, 2024

WELSH Tory leader Andrew Davies resigned today after narrowly surviving a no-confidence vote that split his Senedd colleagues.

Nine supported Mr Davies, but seven voted against after the vote was called following some Senedd Tories raising concerns about his leadership last week.

In his resignation letter, Mr Davies said he will stand down once a successor is elected.
