Ahead of the inaugural election to the Welsh Assembly in May 1999, the Welsh Liberal Democrats held a contest to elect their campaign leader and prospective group leader. The Welsh Liberal Democrat leader during this campaign was Brecon and Radnorshire MP Richard Livsey, who would remain as party leader until 2001.
