Sir Wayne represented Caerphilly as a Member of Parliament for 23 years, but stood down at the last general election.

He will take over from Kevin Brennan as Eluned Morgan’s chief special adviser, and is due to start the role in the new year.

On his appointment, the First Minister said: “I am delighted that Wayne David has agreed to take on the role of chief special adviser.
