Plaid Cymru's Rhun ap Iorwerth voted first minister of Wales

Ap Iorwerth was confirmed after a plenary vote on Tuesday with the support of the 43 Senedd members of his party and two Greens. Plaid Cymru ended Labour's century-long electoral dominance in Wales in last week's elections, winning the most seats in the newly expanded 96-seat parliament. Reform, which had hoped to be the biggest party, won 34 seats, and Labour came third with just nine seats, marking a definitive end to the party's grip on its birthplace.
