Mike German, the leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrat Group in the National Assembly for Wales, formed his second frontbench team of party spokespeople on 8 May 2003 after the dissolution of his party's coalition government with Rhodri Morgan's Welsh Labour following the 2003 National Assembly for Wales election. Richards had already formed a frontbench team before entering coalition, when his party became an opposition party after the 1999 National Assembly for Wales election before forming the coalition with Labour in October 2000.
German continued to serve as leader of his party's group until his resignation in 2008. A year earlier, he was elected leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats with the group leadership unified with this office. Kirsty Williams won a leadership election to succeed him as leader in December 2008 and she formed a new frontbench team later that same month.
