Welsh First Minister Mark twatford confirms he will quit the Senedd at the next election in 2026 - claiming 'it's important to have a refresh'
Mr twatford said he will step down as a member of the Senedd later this decade.
Wales' First Minister Mark Drakeford has confirmed he will leave the Welsh Parliament at the next election in 2026.
Mr Drakeford said he plans to step down as a member of the Senedd, where he currently represents the Cardiff West constituency, at the end of the current parliamentary term.
Speaking at the National Eisteddfod in Boduan, north west Wales, Mr Drakeford said it was 'important to have a refresh'.
According to the BBC, the Welsh First Minister said: 'I think it is difficult for those who will be doing the work in the future to have people like me sitting behind them.
'I don't want to do that. I think of it like Tony Benn - when he decided to leave the House of Commons, he said "I'm going to stop being an MP in order to spend more time in politics".'
