Rhodri Morgan was named as Acting First Secretary on 9 February and confirmed as the permanent First Secretary on 15 February 2000.[2] This Ministry ran until Morgan formed a coalition government with the Liberal Democrats in October 2000.
This administration was always viewed as temporary and Labour had mooted looking for a coalition partner following their persevered poor showing in the 1999 election.[3]
