Vaughan Gething: Welsh Labour to set out timetable for successor

Whoever is elected will face the challenging task of having to reunite a divided Labour group.

Splits have developed as a result of the controversy that has surrounded Mr Gething’s time in office.

He came under pressure over his decision to accept donations amounting to £200,000 to his leadership campaign from a business owner who had twice been convicted for environmental offences.

His decision to sack a minister for leaking messages to the media was also controversial, as was his failure to stand down after losing a no-confidence vote in the Senedd.

In his resignation statement on Tuesday, Mr Gething said he had hoped a period of “rebuilding and renewal” would have been possible over the summer, but now realised “this was not possible”.

On Thursday, he told BBC Wales there were people who “have not been prepared to accept” the result of the last leadership contest.
