Laura Anne Jones elected deputy leader of Reform in Welsh Senedd

Reform Senedd members have elected Laura Anne Jones to fill the seat vacated by Helen Jenner, who assumed the party’s leadership earlier this month. The internal vote, conducted among the party’s elected representatives, concluded with Jones receiving a majority of the ballots, securing her place in the Welsh Parliament for the remainder of the term.

Jones, a former local councilor with experience in community development, will join the Reform Senedd caucus as it prepares for upcoming legislative sessions. Her appointment follows Jenner’s elevation to party leader, a move that prompted a reshuffle of roles within the group. The new member is expected to contribute to the party’s policy agenda and participate in committee work, ensuring continuity of representation for the constituency previously served by Jenner.
