Plaid Cymru to lead Wales

Plaid Cymru to lead Wales

In a seismic shift for Welsh politics, Plaid Cymru has emerged as the largest party in the Senedd, ending a century of Labour dominance.

Party leader Rhun ap Iorwerth has committed to forming a stable minority government, seeking cooperation with other parties to address critical issues like the cost of living and energy security.

The result follows a surge in support for Plaid Cymru and Reform UK, as voters expressed deep dissatisfaction with the incumbent Labour administration.

Ap Iorwerth has pledged to press the UK government for expanded powers while prioritizing the needs of working families across Wales.
