Darren David Millar is a Welsh politician who has led the Welsh Conservatives since 2024. Born on 27 July 1976, he first entered the Senedd in 2007 as the Member for Clwyd West, a constituency he represented for nearly two decades before becoming the Member for Clwyd in May 2026. His parliamentary career has focused on Welsh governance and opposition politics, with his leadership role positioning him at the forefront of Conservative policy development in Wales.
Between December 2024 and January 2026, Millar served as Leader of the Opposition in Wales, a position that saw him scrutinising the Welsh Government and presenting alternative policy proposals on behalf of his party. His work in the Senedd has centred on Welsh political affairs and the development of Conservative approaches to devolved issues. Darren Millar writes commentary for Comment Central, offering insights on Welsh politics and policy matters.
