Carwyn Jones is expected to be re-instated as first minister this week Labour has confirmed it has spoken to other parties in Wales after falling just short of an outright majority at last week’s assembly election.
It said “informal discussions” were underway after it won exactly half the seats in the assembly chamber.
Welsh Labour leader Carwyn Jones is expected to be confirmed as first minister by the end of the week.
But one Labour AM said his party should go it alone, warning a coalition with another party would be “too cosy”.
The Plaid Cymru and Conservative groups held their first meetings after the election on Monday in Cardiff Bay. Labour will hold a group meeting on Tuesday.
The first plenary session of the new assembly is expected to be held on Wednesday when the presiding officer and first minister will be chosen.
“I think really there’s an obligation on Labour to form a government. You’ve got 50% of the seats.”
Mick Antoniw Labour AM
In a statement on Monday, a Labour spokesman said: “The people of Wales have made it very clear that they want a Labour-led government and they want Carwyn Jones to be the next first minister.
“This is accepted by the other political parties in the assembly.
“Informal discussions have been taking place today and over the weekend both inside Welsh Labour and with the other political parties.
“The new Labour group will meet tomorrow to discuss options and agree the right way forward for Wales. Following that meeting, Carwyn Jones will make a statement to ensure Wales has a stable government.”
But the new Labour AM for Pontypridd, Mick Antoniw, said he opposed going into coalition “and I think we should just go it alone”.
“We are not going to go to them.”
Peter Black Liberal Democrat AM
“I think it’s feasible, it might be tough, but then I don’t think people have elected us to have a cosy time,” he said.
“I think really there’s an obligation on Labour to form a government. You’ve got 50% of the seats.
“My bigger concern is that the trouble within the assembly with coalition is that it makes it a bit too cosy and takes away the quality of scrutiny and challenge to what the government is doing.”
Labour could share power with another party, as it did with Plaid after the 2007 election, or could work out a less formal arrangement.
Labour’s campaign manager, Pontypridd MP Owen Smith, said a partnership with the Lib Dems would be “difficult”, unless they renounced the policies of their coalition with the Conservatives.
But Lib Dem AM Peter Black said his party “would want some reassurance from the Labour Party if they were going to talk to us then we wouldn’t want this strident criticism (of the UK government) all the way through”.
He said the Welsh Lib Dems were willing to criticise the UK government where they disagreed with it, for example over university tuition fees and on S4C.
“But I think we can’t just oppose everything for the sake of opposing it.”
He added: “I think the onus is on Labour.
“We are not going to go to them. If they want to come and talk to us because they can’t manage in government on 30 seats then we are happy to talk and listen to that.
“All the balls are in their court and as far as we are concerned we will let them decide how they want to go ahead.”

Boats from North Africa have been arriving almost daily in Lampedusa Nato has denied claims by a British newspaper that its naval units left dozens of migrants aboard a drifting boat in the Mediterranean to die.
It said it was unaware of the plight of the boat, which reportedly was adrift for more than two weeks.
The Guardian newspaper said 61 of the 72 people on board the boat died of hunger or thirst, despite being spotted by a military helicopter and Nato ship.
Meanwhile officials say a ship carrying 600 people sank off Libya last week.
Laura Boldrini of the UNHCR refugee agency said witnesses had seen the ship break apart on rocks on the Libyan coast, shortly after leaving, and that bodies were seen floating in the sea. She said it was not known how many of those on board were killed.
The smaller boat left Tripoli in Libya on 25 March, hoping to make it to Italy.
But it ran out of fuel and started drifting. Eventually food and water ran out, too.
The Guardian quotes a man, Abu Kurke, who it says was aboard the boat.
“Every morning we would wake up and find more bodies, which we would leave for 24 hours and then throw overboard,” he said.
The dead included mothers and babies, he added.
Those on board the boat made contact with a priest in Italy, Father Mussie Zerai, who often plays a key role assisting migrants who hit trouble. They called him on 26 March, the day after they set sail.
He confirmed to the BBC that he had alerted Italian coastguards, who said they would take action. But he lost contact with the boat when its phone battery went dead.
Abu Kurke said that shortly afterwards a helicopter appeared and dropped bottles of water and packets of biscuits onto the boat – but that after that, no further help arrived.
At one point – on 29 or 30 March, the Guardian says – the boat drifted close to an aircraft carrier. Survivors contacted by the paper said two jets took off and flew low overhead, while the migrants held two starving babies aloft. But no effort was made to assist them.
The Guardian said its inquiries suggested the ship must have been the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle.
However, Nato said in a statement: “Only one aircraft carrier was under Nato command on those dates, the Italian ship Garibaldi. Throughout the period in question, the Garibaldi was operating over 100 nautical miles out to sea. Therefore, any claims that a Nato aircraft carrier spotted and then ignored the vessel in distress are wrong.”
The Nato statement referred to the fact that the boat was supposed to be in “an unspecified location between Tripoli and [the Italian island of] Lampedusa” – and not 100 miles out to sea.
Nato said its vessels were fully aware of their responsibilities to assist vessels in distress – and indeed had rescued more than 500 people in two incidents off Tripoli on 26-27 March.
But the UNHCR’s Ms Boldrini told the BBC World Service it was “scary and concerning” that a boat could drift for so long in the Mediterranean without being picked up by any of the numerous military and commercial vessels operating there.
“This thing shouldn’t ever happen,” she said.
Up to 30,000 people are thought to have made the journey from Libya and Tunisia to Italy so far this year, driven by civil unrest and enabled by a collapse in emigration controls.
Italy has called for help in dealing with the influx, which has overwhelmed its tiny island of Lampedusa.
This weekend, more than 400 migrants from Libya had to be rescued by Italian coastguards after their fishing boat hit rocks on Lampedusa.
TV images of the dramatic night-time rescue showed some migrants jumping or falling into the sea.
On Sunday Pope Benedict XVI urged people in Catholic Italy to show more tolerance towards migrants from north Africa.

Homs has been a focus of anti-government unrest Syrian security forces have expanded their crackdown on anti-government protests, entering several key cities.
The state news agency said authorities were pursuing “armed terrorist groups” in Deraa, Homs and Baniyas.
In Homs, Syria’s third city, there were reports of gunfire and shelling as troops backed by tanks pushed into residential areas.
A 12-year-old boy is reported to have been killed there. State media say six soldiers died in the clashes.
Foreign journalists are banned from entering Syria, so reports are difficult to independently verify.
‘Faced with guns’
In Homs – a centre of the recent protests against President Bashar al-Assad – water, electricity and nearly all forms of communication were cut as reinforcements moved into the city on Sunday.
Tanks and troops charged into the Bab Sebaa, Bab Amro and Tal al-Sour districts.
One Homs resident, who wished to remain anonymous, told the BBC: “We cannot stay for a long time faced with these guns – somebody from your end, from other nations, from Turkey, should [do] something.”
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the areas were under “total siege”, and that hundreds had been arrested. The numbers of dead and injured was unknown, it added.
The Sana state news agency reported that 10 civilian workers travelling to Homs from Lebanon had been killed in an ambush by an armed gang.
Some 15 people were shot dead in Homs on Friday as they staged demonstrations after weekly prayers.
The authorities say 11 soldiers and police were also killed, blaming “terrorist groups” for the violence.
Police operations are also continuing in Baniyas and Deraa.
A witness quoted by Reuters news agency said that security forces had killed at least two unarmed demonstrators on Sunday when they fired on a night rally in the eastern city of Deir al-Zor.
State television showed what appeared to be the blood-soaked interior of a white transit van which had a bullet-ridden windshield.
In Deraa, the southern city where the unrest began in March, residents also remain cut off from the rest of the country.
Scores of people have been killed in Deraa during a 10-day security operation.
Meanwhile, the authorities have filed charges against prominent opposition politician Riad Seif.
Mr Seif, who suffers from cancer, was arrested on Friday accused of staging a protest without a permit.
Across Syria, demonstrators have been calling for greater political rights and personal freedoms. Some are calling for the downfall of the regime.
The unrest, which began in March, poses the most serious challenge to Mr Assad since he succeeded his father, Hafez, in 2000.
On Friday the US said the violence against protesters was “deplorable” and pledged a “strong international response” if Damascus did not end its crackdown.
More than 500 people are thought to have been killed since the start of the protests.
