Former Caerphilly Labour MP Sir Wayne David has been announced as the First Minister’s chief special adviser.

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.

“We have worked together closely over decades, and like Kevin, Wayne has a huge amount of experience of Welsh and UK politics. I feel fortunate to have such an excellent successor to Kevin in Wayne.”
