Welsh Assembly members have failed to elect a new first minister on their return to the Senedd.
Labour's Carwyn Jones was expected to be re-appointed following Thursday's election.
But Plaid Cymru nominated its leader Leanne Wood, and won the backing of the Tories and UKIP, while Mr Jones won the support of sole Liberal Democrat Kirsty Williams and his own party.

With the vote tied at 29-29, the Senedd was adjourned to a later date.
Despite losing one seat at the assembly election, Mr Jones had said he expected to form a minority Labour government with 29 of the assembly's 60 members.
On Friday, he spoke of having discussions with Plaid Cymru and Ms Williams to decide the way forward, but was not seeking any formal coalition.
Mr Jones remains first minister until assembly members vote to re-appoint or replace him.
AMs have 28 days following the election to decide on a first minister.
If there is no agreement, the UK government's Welsh Secretary can call a fresh election.
Hahaha excellent. Keep blocking them.
I was so happy with the results in Wales not just because of the new Ukip bloc but more for the fact that here is an area of of the country that has long for been taken granted by Labour and now the cosy arrangement for life is being ended. Well done on Plaid, the Tories and Ukip for blocking.
Thoughts?
