Rachel Stephen-Smith is poised to take over as deputy chief minister after Yvette Berry’s unexpected resignation, a move Stephen-Smith says she’s confident her colleagues will support. Berry, who held the role for nearly a decade, stepped down following a corruption probe that cleared her but implicated her former chief of staff in a school contract scandal. Stephen-Smith praised Berry’s legacy while emphasizing the government’s proactive steps to fix systemic issues exposed in the report. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Andrew Barr is set to announce cabinet reshuffles this afternoon, including a potential debut for whip Caitlin Tough.
