Gething will replace Mark Drakeford, who is expected to resign on March 19, with the Welsh parliament formally set to elect the next leader the following day. Sunak told last year’s Conservative Party conference that he is “proud to be the first British Asian prime minister,” but “even prouder that it’s just not a big deal.”
Some also accuse Sunak’s administration of deliberately politicizing race as a wedge issue during an election year in which the Conservatives trail far behind Labour in opinion polls.
