First Jones government

The first Jones government was a continuation of the previous Labour-Plaid Cymru coalition government in Wales.
Following Rhodri Morgan's decision to retire, a leadership contest was held for the position of Welsh Labour Leader. The election was won by Carwyn Jones who was confirmed leader of Welsh Labour on 1 December 2009 and as First Minister on 9 December 2009 by the Welsh Assembly. Jones was officially sworn in the next day.
Jones maintained the existing One Wales coalition agreement with Plaid Cymru, established by Morgan.
