The new Welsh Conservative leader has unveiled his shadow cabinet - but there's no frontbench role for his predecessor.
The South Wales Central MS has been nominated as chairman of the Senedd's economy, trade and rural committee by his successor, Darren Millar.
Mr Millar, who was elected without opposition, described his new line-up as "a Government in waiting" ahead of the next elections in 2026.
He said: "It has a wealth of talent and experience to bring to bear as we develop our programme to fix Wales."
"We will be working day and night as we develop solutions to the everyday problems faced by the people of Wales. This government in waiting will be firing on all cylinders until we replace the failing Labour administration in May 2026."
Mr RT Davies was at the centre of a number of controversies surrounding social media posts on topics including school dinners and devolution.
In a letter to the party's chairman, Mr RT Davies said a group of Tory MSs had threatened to resign from their roles in shadow cabinet if he did not agree to step down as leader.
Following the vote, he said: "It was clear from the result that a substantial minority of the group do not support our approach, despite it being the only viable strategy available. While I would have been honoured to continue as leader, my position is consequently untenable."
Mr RT Davies says he intends to stand again for re-election as an MS in 2026.
Three more Tory MSs have also lost their frontbench roles - as Mr Millar cuts the number of shadow cabinet roles from 15 to 12.
Tom Giffard is replaced as shadow education secretary by Natasha Ashgar while Mark Isherwood loses his brief as shadow counsel general and shadow housing secretary to Paul Davies and Laura Anne Jones, respectively.
They will continue to hold roles as committee chairs alongside Russell George, who stepped as a shadow minister for Mid Wales in June, amid a Gambling Commission investigation into betting on the date of the last general election
