Mims Davies, the shadow secretary of state for Wales, argues against restructuring the leadership of the Welsh Conservatives ahead of the critical 2026 Senedd elections. She believes such a move would be 'completely nuts' given the pressing need for focus and unity within the party. Currently, the party leadership involves multiple figures, but a recent internal report recommended streamlining leadership to one representative. Despite this, the final decision rests with the UK Tory leader, Kemi Badenoch, on whether to adopt this change.
If you're asking me ahead of the biggest set of elections, that we should be going down a procedure and process about our own party, that would be completely nuts.
Darren is setting a very clear agenda about fixing Wales in the Senedd alongside our shadow cabinet members there. We want to fix Wales and offer a very strong Conservative offer.
A report in November, accepted by the Welsh Conservatives board, recommended having one leader to represent the Welsh wing of the Tory party.
Ultimately, I am the leader, working with Darren and David TC Davies, and working with our MSs.
