During First Minister’s Questions on Tuesday, Mr Gething said he was 'confident' about winning the vote
Vaughan Gething has said he is feeling "confident" about winning the vote of no confidence he faces in the Senedd today.
Concerns have been raised following Mr Gething's receipt of a donation from a man convicted of environmental offences during his run to be Welsh Labour leader. Mr Gething has insisted he broke no rules. "I could and should, in my view, have been elsewhere, but I will be in this Parliament to respond to the debate."Rhun ap Iorwerth, leader of Plaid Cymru, said the vote might be non-binding, but should be taken seriously, arguing the people of Wales have lost confidence in the First Minister.
He also said no-confidence votes were not uncommon and “part and parcel” of being a minister, with three having taken place in this Senedd term. Ahead of tomorrow’s vote of no confidence, Mr ap Iorwerth said: “In accepting a £200k donation from a convicted polluter, the First Minister has undermined his own office and the confidence of the people of Wales in his ability to govern.
