Eluned Morgan was approved as the new leader of the Welsh Labour Party on Wednesday and, therefore, poised to become the first female minister in the history of the devolved government. This has marked a historical moment in the politics of Wales and women’s management roles in organizations as Eluned Morgan takes over.
These are the words of Mr Carwyn Jones the previous leader of the Welsh Labour Party and the First Minister of Wales: I am truly honoured 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,” Eluned Morgan said.

Nevertheless, Morgan has not been approved as the First Minister as we speak now. She still has to seek the permission of the Senedd, which is on its August break until September. If the assembly is recalled earlier, Morgan could take up her new position earlier, and carry on the work of the Welsh government based in Cardiff.
Challenges and Opportunities Ahead
Thus, the promotion of Morgan to leadership occurs at a time when the Welsh Labour Party has had its ordeal. The party has been split over the acceptance of a £200 000 donation from one convicted of criminal activities regarding environmental matters, forcing a vote of no confidence and subsequently, the resignation of Gething. Still, these challenges led to Morgan’s identification as the unity candidate; indeed, he secured unanimous support from other possible contenders for the leadership post.
As a devolved nation, the Welsh government has limited powers on specific issues, these include; transport, environment, health, and education. The development of responsibilities mentioned above will be in the hands of a new leader – Morgan who will guide Wales to a new phase of its existence.
When, where and how did the Welsh political landscape change for a new era, a new period in its development?
Welsh Politics enters a new epoch as Eluned Morgan takes her place in leading the nation; thus, Welsh people have another chance to have a say in the government. She has paved her way of becoming the first woman First Minister in Wales, this shows a positive indication of her devotion and the leadership changes.
