Description:

Wales' First Minister Vaughan Gething has announced his resignation, only four months after taking the job.

It comes after three of his Welsh government ministers and his top legal adviser dramatically released resignation statements calling for him to stand down.

Mr Gething has been embroiled in controversy since he took over in March, and has been dogged by questions over a £200,000 campaign donation from a businessman convicted of environmental offences.

In his resignation statement he denied wrongdoing, adding: "I regret that the burden of proof is no longer an important commodity in the language of our politics."
