Jane Dodds is stepping down as leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats after nearly nine years in the role.
Dodds said she believed the time had come to hand leadership to a “new generation”. Her announcement marks the end of her tenure at the head of the party in Wales.
No further details about the timing of her departure or the process for choosing her successor were provided in the supplied statement. The leadership will now pass to a new figure, in line with Dodds’s stated intention to make way for the next generation of party leadership.
