As no other candidate was nominated by the deadline for nominations at 17:00 GMT on 5 December, he was elected unopposed as the new leader of the Welsh Conservative Group in the Senedd.
A confidence motion had been held seeking the removal Davies at a meeting of the Conservative Senedd group on 3 December 2024. Although Davies won the motion with 9 votes to 7, he proceeded resign as leader in the hours following the vote.
Darren Millar was the only candidate to stand in the ensuing leadership election, and was consequently announced as the new Welsh Conservative leader on 5 December.
