In a groundbreaking shift, Plaid Cymru has emerged as the largest party in the Senedd, ending Labour’s century-long dominance in Welsh elections. Following the historic vote on May 7th, Welsh Labour has been dramatically reduced to only nine MSs, trailing behind Plaid Cymru and Reform UK.

Plaid Cymru’s leader, Rhun ap Iorwerth, stands on the brink of becoming the next First Minister. Speaking from the Senedd steps, he described the election as “a moment 100 years in the making” and shared his aspirations for forming a minority government.

But there’s a twist! Rhun warned that the UK Government now faces a choice: either “punish” Wales for this seismic shift or “reflect” on how it can better support the Welsh people. He’s ready to work constructively with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Welsh Secretary Jo Stevens, promising not to back down easily in negotiations.

Witnesses described the “incredible scenes” as Rhun and his 42 Plaid MSs were celebrated by hundreds of supporters with a heartfelt rendition of Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau. Rhun expressed immense pride and excitement about what this means for Wales, stating, “This is about building an alliance for the future of Wales.”
