Jones successfully voted for Neil Hamilton to be leader of UKIP in the Welsh Assembly - this was despite Nathan Gill been the leader at the time of her election.
After Nigel Farage declared his intention to stand down she wrote a letter along with other members of the assembly urging Paul Nuttall to stand in the first UK Independence Party leadership election, 2016.
