LONDON, July 24 (Xinhua) -- Eluned Morgan has become the new Welsh Labour leader and is set to be the next first minister of Wales, the party confirmed on Wednesday.
Morgan will also be the first female leader of Wales.
"I am truly honored to become the first woman to lead Welsh Labour and to be put forward as our party's nominee to become the next first minister of Wales," she said in a statement.
"At this pivotal time for our country, strength, stability, and unity will be my guiding principles. I want to ensure that everyone in Wales has the opportunity and ability to fulfill their potential," said Morgan.
Wales' First Minister Vaughan Gething announced his resignation last week after losing a vote of no confidence in his leadership. ■
