Labour is set to face weeks of political deadlock in Wales after Vaughan Gething resigned as first minister following a turbulent four months marked by infighting and scandal. A replacement isn’t expected until the autumn.
Gething’s tenure has been marred by controversies, including issues with donations and accusations of attempting to delete sensitive messages, since he succeeded Mark Drakeford as first minister and Welsh Labour leader in March.
Despite losing a vote of confidence in the Senedd in June, Gething initially refused to step down. However, he was ultimately forced out on Tuesday after four ministers resigned from his government.
