Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Darren Millar MS, has responded to Rhun ap Iorwerth’s nomination as First Minister in the Senedd today.
Commenting, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Darren Millar MS, said:
“While I congratulate Rhun ap Iorwerth on becoming the next First Minister of Wales, Plaid Cymru will now need to demonstrate that they are not going to deliver more of the same for Wales by simply swapping places with Labour as the senior partner in the duopoly that has been running Wales in recent years.
“Regrettably, the backroom deal between Plaid and Labour to appoint Labour’s former Deputy First Minister to the important role of Speaker of the Senedd suggests that we are simply going to get four more years of the same.
“The Welsh Conservatives will be a constructive opposition, holding Wales’ new government to account, and opposing any attempt to continue the same tired politics that has held our country back for far too long.”
