BBC News Published image captionMark Drakeford is expected to be reappointed as First Minister Welsh Labour is looking poised to go it alone and form a government without help from other parties. Thursday's Senedd election left Labour with 30 seats - one short of an outright majority. Senior Welsh Labour politician, Counsel General Jeremy Miles, said the result allowed them to work with parties on a "case-by-case basis". Party leader Mark Drakeford has said Labour has governed successfully on 30 seats before. With no significant challenge from the opposition to his position Mr Drakeford is expected to be reappointed to his job as first minister.
