I read in the Tribune (3rd Aug 2007) that Rhrodri is planning to step down as soon as early next year. Tony Heath writes "with the historic Labour/Plaid Cymru coalition in place and in power in the Welsh Assembly, Rhrodri Morgan has told friends he is to step down as First Minister and Labour Leader - possibly as early as next year. Mr Morgan who is 68 next month, said before the elections in May that he would probably stand down in 2009. But his recent health scare - he had keyhole surgery ...... - has made him think of bringing that date forward."
He speculates about the successor citing Carwyn Jones as the favourite. I think Jane Davidson is likely to be a favourite. I can't find any odds on line yet!
His wife Julie Morgan MP has, I believe, been reselected as the candidate for Cardiff North for New Labour at the next election which could as soon as early next year. Either she doesn't plan to spend much time with Rhrodri or she doesn't expect to win!
OK gwe
