Second Frontbench Team of Mike German (2003)[a]
Mike German, the leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrat Group in the National Assembly for Wales, formed his frontbench team of party spokespeople on 13 May 1999. German had led his party into the 1999 National Assembly for Wales election after being elected as leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrat Group in 1998. This was his first frontbench team in the assembly, with it dissolving after the party entered government in October 2000. He formed a second frontbench team after his party returned to opposition in May 2003.
German's first frontbench served through the resignation of First Secretary Alun Michael and the fall of his Labour administration. German negotiated a coalition deal with Michael's successor Rhodri Morgan in the months following his ascension to the premiership. After gaining the approval of their respective parties, German's Liberal Democrats formed a coalition government with Morgan's Labour Party, with German becoming the first deputy first minister of Wales. The coalition government was dissolved by Morgan after Labour made gains in the 2003 National Assembly for Wales election, with German's party returning to opposition and German forming a new frontbench team in May.
