Andrew RT Davies told BBC Wales he is still the right person to lead the Welsh Conservatives into the next Senedd election.
He refuted Stephen Crabb’s comments and said he was “up for the fight in 2026”.
Asked if he was the right man for the election, he said: “Very much so. I’m up for making that change agenda resonating in communities across the whole of Wales.”
He added: “I never need to look over my shoulder because I’ve got a mirror to look in all the time [to see] whose behind me.
“Because politics is always about making sure that no one gets too close to you, otherwise the knife might go in.”
One former MP said it was “not a time for further turmoil and infighting” in the party.
Asked if she agreed with the suggestion from former Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb that Andrew RT Davies should go, the former Tory MP for Wrexham Sarah Atherton said: “We need to prove to the country that we are unified and cohesive going forward.”
The Welsh Conservatives’ Senedd group chairman, Sam Kurtz, said he and the Senedd group had “full confidence” in Davies.
“I think we’re working tirelessly to come forward with a plethora of policies that will be attractive to all voters in Wales in 2026,” the Member of the Senedd for Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire added.
