Vaughan Gething is set to make history as the first black Premier of Wales following his victory in the leadership contest for the Welsh Labour Party, which has maintained a majority in the parliament for over two decades.
“Today, we turn a new page in the history of our nation, not only because I have the honor of being the first black leader in a European country but also because we are witnessing a generational change,” Gething, aged 50, stated in his speech after the election results were announced, as reported by Reuters.
Previously, in 2013, Gething became the first black minister in the United Kingdom, serving as the Minister for Health and Economy.
