Plaid Cymru seeks Welsh government

Plaid Cymru is celebrating a historic victory in the Senedd elections, emerging as the largest party in Wales and ending over 100 years of Labour dominance.

Leader Rhun ap Iorwerth has expressed his intent to form a minority government following the collapse of the Labour vote across the country.

The result has left the Welsh Labour Party in crisis, with First Minister Eluned Morgan losing her seat and resigning as party leader.

Plaid Cymru now faces the challenge of governing amid a splintered political landscape where Reform UK also made significant gains.
