Eluned Morgan has resigned as leader of Welsh Labour after losing her seat in the Ceredigion Penfro constituency during the 2026 Senedd elections. She acknowledged that her party had suffered a catastrophic result in the election.
Plaid Cymru is projected to win between 41 and 46 seats in the Senedd, marking a historic victory for the pro-independence party. The Greens have also made gains, securing two seats for the first time.
Morgan had served as First Minister of Wales since 2024 and previously held a seat in the House of Lords. She stated she takes responsibility for the Labour result in Wales and will not seek re-election as party leader.
