Jane Dodds has officially announced her decision to step down as the leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats. The move marks the end of her tenure at the helm of the party, a position she has held for nearly nine years.
In her announcement, Dodds stated that the time had come to pass the leadership to a "new generation." Her departure concludes a significant period of stewardship for the party, during which she navigated various political challenges and electoral cycles in Wales.
Dodds, who has served as the Member of the Senedd for Mid and West Wales, has not yet specified a precise date for her departure or named a successor. The party is expected to outline the process for electing a new leader in the coming weeks.
