Sioned Williams is Deputy First Minister, overseeing childcare and child poverty. Mabon ap Gwynfor leads health, while Anna Brychan handles education. Elin Jones will manage the budget as Finance Minister.

The team faces significant challenges, including a substantial health budget and rebuilding trust after 27 years of Labour rule. Ap Iorwerth vowed 'new impetus' and a 'united team' to address these challenges.

The announcement follows Plaid Cymru's historic win, ending Labour's long rule in Wales.
