The Welsh parliament has been recalled from summer recess so members can vote for a new first minister.
Members of the Senedd (MS) will have to go back to the parliament in Cardiff on 6 August after health minister, Baroness Eluned Morgan, became Welsh Labour leader on Wednesday.

The Welsh Labour leadership contest was due to take place over two months, ending after the summer break finishes in September, but Baroness Morgan was the sole contestant so became leader without any campaign.
She is replacing Vaughan Gething after he announced his resignation last week following a row over campaign donations.
However, she does not automatically replace him as first minister, with the whole Senedd required to vote on who will become Wales’s new leader.
The Senedd broke up for its summer break on Monday but Mr Gething requested MSs be recalled and the presiding officer has accepted his request.
It is expected Baroness Morgan will be voted in as first minister as Labour holds a majority in the Senedd.
