Speaking after Eluned Morgan MS was officially nominated as the new First Minister of Wales by the Senedd, James Evans MS said:
“I’d like to congratulate Eluned Morgan MS on her election as the new First Minister of Wales, and subsequently as the first woman to take up the role. I wish her all the best in tackling the challenges left behind by her predecessor.
“Being a regional member of the Senedd for Mid and West Wales, and a Welsh Government Minister for almost seven years, Ms Morgan should be aware of the challenges being faced by our communities – the very people she represents.
“I hope that going forward this will remain at the forefront of her mind when it comes to significant decisions being made around issues such as health, education, and transport."
