I want to thank Vaughan for his service as leader of the Welsh Labour Party and as First Minister of Wales.
Vaughan should take enormous pride in being the first black leader of any country in Europe.
That achievement will have broadened the ambitions and raised the gaze of a generation of young people in Wales and beyond.
I know what a difficult decision this has been for him - but I also know that he has made it because he feels it is the best decision now for Wales.
I wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
