Following yesterday’s Conservative Party Leadership hustings in Cardiff, Senedd Member for Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire and Welsh Conservative - Samuel Kurtz has endorsed Rishi Sunak to be the next Prime Minister.

Speaking outside the hustings, Mr Kurtz said: “Rishi delivered during the pandemic; he saved millions of jobs, protected businesses, and saved livelihoods.

“Without his financial leadership, thousands of people could have been left unemployed. It is that leadership we now need as we navigate challenging waters, both domestically and internationally.

“He’s demonstrated his commitment to our country and has shown his ability to rise to the most crucial challenges of the day. His honesty and vision are what we need as a country.

“I know that as Prime Minister he will deliver for Wales and the United Kingdom,” he added.
