Welshman Chris Jenkins has resigned as president of Commonwealth Sport.

He took the role in November 2023 after Australian state Victoria had pulled out of hosting the 2026 Games and Canadian province Alberta had withdrawn its interest for 2030.

In 2024 Glasgow assumed responsibility for the 2026 event.

Later that year, Jenkins set out the concept of Games being shared between multiple host cities or towns.

Jenkins said he was “particularly proud” of having the opportunity to help development in sport “and especially Para inclusion”.

He also all his “Commonwealth Games Association colleagues and friends for their support”.

Commonwealth Sport chief executive Katie Sadleir confirmed Ugandan lawyer and sports administrator Dr Donald Rukare as interim Commonwealth Sport president with a new permanent role holder to be elected at its next general assembly in November 2025.

Rukare said: “We have come through a particularly challenging period in our Games history, and we are now building momentum towards an outstanding Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2026.”
