Reform Senedd members elect Laura Anne Jones as the party’s deputy leader in Wales, filling the vacancy created when Helen Jenner becomes leader.
Jones is a former Conservative, and multiple outlets frame her background as a notable part of her political profile. The reports describe her selection as coming directly from within Reform’s Welsh parliamentary group, indicating the choice is made by fellow Senedd members rather than through a wider party vote.
Coverage also reflects the transitional nature of the change: Jenner’s move to leader creates a deputy-leader post, and Jones is named to take on that role in Wales. While outlets focus on different aspects—such as her prior party affiliation versus the internal process of filling the leadership gap—both describe the same outcome: Jones is chosen to serve as Reform’s deputy Welsh leader.
