Eluned Morgan
[6] She was educated at Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glantaf, as well as, through a scholarship, the independent United World College of the Atlantic, and later gained a degree in European Studies from the University of Hull.[21] In 2015 Morgan was selected as a candidate for the 2016 Welsh election on the Mid and West Wales regional list.Morgan was re-elected at the 2021 Senedd election,[32] and a week later was appointed Minister for Health and Social Services.[33] In March 2023, the Welsh Conservatives submitted a motion of no confidence in her, following mounting criticism of Morgan's handling of the Betsi Cadwaladr crisis.[39] On 6 August 2024, Eluned Morgan was officially sworn in as the First Minister of Wales, following her nomination by the Senedd, which was recalled from its summer recess for this purpose.As the leader of the largest party in the Senedd,[2] Morgan secured the position with 28 votes, marking the beginning of her tenure as Wales' first female First Minister.[40] Upon entering government as the first minister, one of the first issues to face Morgan was the prospect of the 2024 United Kingdom riots beginning in Wales.Key topics included NHS funding, energy independence, and the future of Tata Steel jobs in Wales.
