Vaughan Gething, Wales' incoming first minister, has committed to reviewing campaign donations for Welsh Labour leadership contests following controversy. This follows his narrow victory in the Welsh Labour leadership election, which raised questions about financial donations to his campaign after controversy. Gething's campaign received a significant £200,000 donation from a company run by a man previously convicted of environmental offences. Despite the controversy, Gething stated that 'every serious journalist' would understand that this donation could not be returned. Additionally, Gething has declared another £51,000 in donations on top of the initial £200,000.
