Mark Drakeford has been confirmed as the Welsh Parliament’s nominee for First Minister of Wales.
The Welsh Labour leader is set to continue as head of the Welsh Government until he hands over to a successor towards the end of the new parliament’s five-year term.
On Wednesday, the first plenary session since the Senedd election saw Mr Drakeford stand unopposed to continue in the role after his name was put forward by Labour MS Rebecca Evans.
Following his successful nomination for appointment, Mr Drakeford told members his Government would lead “in a way that seeks consensus” from other parties, and promised to tackle issues such as the environment, basic income, and affordable housing in Welsh-speaking areas.
