Plaid Cymru's Rhun ap Iorwerth reveals new Welsh government ministers
The new team includes Sioned Williams as deputy first minister and puts health, education and finance under Plaid Cymru control.
Following his swearing-in on Tuesday, May 12, First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth appointed his new cabinet, pledging a "relentless focus on doing what's best for Wales."
Welsh Conservatives leader Darren Millar argued voters sought a "change in direction," claiming the nation requires new governance after "the same old politics of the past 27 years."
Sioned Williams, elected last week, serves as Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Minister for Social Justice and Equality; Mabon ap Gwynfor holds Cabinet Minister for Health and Care.
Dan Thomas, Leader of Reform UK in Wales, acknowledged urgent change is needed in public services and promised to scrutinize the government's performance.
Iorwerth aims to work as one team solving community issues, asserting his government will "believe in the art of the possible" while turning campaign promises into immediate action.
