Welsh First Minister Vaughan Gething Loses No-Confidence Vote

The non-binding motion follows scandals and questions about his judgment, impacting his authority and leadership.

  • Gething's leadership has been marred by a £200,000 donation from a convicted polluter and a leaked message scandal.
  • Plaid Cymru ended its cooperation with Labour, complicating government operations due to lack of a majority.
  • The no-confidence vote saw 29 votes against Gething and 27 in his favor, with two Labour members absent due to illness.
  • Gething has faced criticism for not providing evidence for sacking a minister and for alleged lack of transparency.
  • The vote, while non-binding, raises significant pressure on Gething to step down as First Minister.
