Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Eluned Morgan to Become Wales' First Female Leader Amidst Party Challenges
Caption: Eluned Morgan to Become Wales' First Female Leader Amidst Party Challenges. Wales has its first female leader, Eluned Morgan after she was chosen to lead the Welsh Labour Party, succeeding Vaughan Gething. Morgan, currently the health minister, was the sole candidate and will become First Minister following a confirmation vote in the Senedd. Her appointment comes amid a desire for unity after Gething's resignation last week, which followed a no-confidence vote and controversy over campaign donations from a recycling company linked to environmental violations. Gething, who made history as the first Black leader of a government in the UK, stepped down after only three months in office. Morgan has emphasized looking towards the future after a turbulent period for the party. “We’ve been through a difficult time, we’re now looking to the future. I don’t think it’s been a pretty picture in the last few weeks. I think we’ve got to fess up and accept that’s the situation.” Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
