🌟 Historic Day for Wales! 🌟
For the first time in history, Plaid Cymru has taken a monumental step forward with Rhun ap Iorwerth being elected as Wales’ First Minister. 🌿🏛️ This marks the first time a non-Labour politician has ever held the position, shaking up the traditional political landscape.
The new-look Senedd gathered to cast their votes, with ap Iorwerth receiving the nod over contenders from Reform UK and the Conservatives. In his heartfelt speech, he acknowledged the importance of family support and community trust, pledging to serve all corners of Wales. Whether you’re from bustling cities or peaceful countryside, a Welsh speaker or not, Plaid Cymru promises inclusive governance for each and every community. 🤝
Ap Iorwerth emphasised his commitment: “We’ll seek common ground, address injustices, and help those in need. Our mission is to nurture Wales—a vineyard handed to us by our predecessors and to be preserved for future generations.”
He also took a moment to honour his predecessor, Eluned Morgan, recognising her role in breaking barriers and inspiring younger generations. ⚔️💪
This exciting new chapter begins with ap Iorwerth and Kerry Ferguson, the newly-elected deputy presiding officer, ready to make impactful changes with their 100-day action plan kicking off right away. ✅
It’s a day of celebration packed with promise and anticipation for Wales. Let’s see how this new leadership shapes the future of our nation!
