Mark Drakeford (69) steps down as First Minister for Wales this Easter. This man came second to him in the voting in 2018. Looking him up on Wiki he is 49, and was health minister between 2016 and May 2021, overseeing Wales' initial response to Covid.
He says that experience would stand him in good stead to be first minister, but he has also been criticised after admitting he had not read key documents relating to pandemic planning.
Any of our GN community know of him/fancy his chances? I admit I only became curious about Drakeford’s successor because of today’s Covid Inquiry session and became curious.
