🌟 Big Day in Cardiff Bay! 🌟
Today marks a pivotal moment as the newly elected 96 Senedd members gather in Cardiff Bay for the very first time. With Plaid Cymru leading the way with a whopping 43 seats, we’re in for some exciting developments!
The agenda is packed, starting with crucial votes to elect the Llywydd (presiding officer) and their deputy. Paul Davies from the Conservatives and Labour’s Huw Irranca-Davies are vying for the top spot. Once these roles are filled, the main event can unfold: the vote for Wales’ next First Minister. Rhun ap Iorwerth stands strong as the leading candidate, although we’re hearing whispers that Reform UK’s Dan Thomas might throw his hat in the ring too. 🤔
There’s a buzz in the Senedd reminiscent of a first day at school – a blend of excitement, nerves, and lots of friendly reunions for those who’ve crossed paths on the campaign trail. It’s a truly historic day as the seventh Senedd gets underway!
Stay tuned for live updates as this thrilling political journey unfolds! 🗳️🎉
