Third Jones government
The Third Jones government was a Labour–Liberal Democrat coalition government formed after the results of the 2016 general election in Wales. On 14 October 2016, Dafydd Elis-Thomas left Plaid Cymru in order to support the coalition government and to give them a ruling majority; he now sits as an independent in the Welsh Parliament. The government was replaced by the Drakeford government on 12 December 2018, following the resignation of Carwyn Jones as First Minister.
