Vaughan Gething has announced his resignation as Welsh First Minister after four members of his government stepped down in protest over his leadership.
Gething lost a vote of no confidence last month after a controversial decision to sack a minister and questions arose about donations during his Welsh Labour leadership campaign. This turmoil led to the collapse of Labour's co-operation deal with Plaid Cymru in the Senedd.
In a statement on Tuesday morning, Mr Gething said he had "taken the difficult decision to begin the process of stepping down", and will now discuss a timetable for the election of his successor.
