📣 Big News: Huw Thomas Steps Down as Cardiff Council Leader!
After nine years at the helm, Huw Thomas is stepping down from his role as leader of Cardiff Council. 🎉
Why the move? Huw has been elected to the Senedd as the sole Labour representative for Caerdydd Penarth, marking a new chapter in his political journey. He led the council since 2017, taking over during turbulent times and steering Cardiff through significant changes.
In his heartfelt farewell, Huw called leading the council the “honour of my life” and expressed gratitude to those supporting him along the way. As he departs, the Cardiff Labour group is gearing up to select a new leader.
Huw shared his thoughts on X, reflecting on the challenges and transformations ahead for Welsh Labour after a tough election result. He’s optimistic about the future, calling for fresh perspectives and a revitalised approach.
What’s next? New interim leadership is already in motion, with Ken Skates stepping up as the Welsh Labour leader, replacing Eluned Morgan. Meanwhile, the focus is on rebuilding and re-energising the party.
Huw’s move to the Senedd might mean a shift from being centre stage to working behind the scenes, but he’s ready to embrace the change and contribute in fresh ways.
