T. Davies Nathan Gill Kirsty Williams The May 2016 election saw the biggest ever change in the Assembly's composition.

In the initial ballot for First Minister, Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood and Labour's Carwyn Jones each gained 29 votes; a week of talks were then held.

A document was produced after Plaid Cymru–Labour talks entitled "Moving Wales Forward", which detailed policy concessions in exchange for allowing Carwyn Jones to become First Minister.

Plaid Cymru, the Conservatives and UKIP formed opposition groups.

In 2018, Mark Drakeford was elected to the leadership of the Welsh Labour Party and became first minister, leading a coalition government with the Liberal Democrats and an independent member.
