The 2026 Senedd Election offers a “golden opportunity to elect a pro-Wales government” Plaid Cymru’s leader has said.
Marking a year to go until the people of Wales go to the polls, Rhun ap Iorwerth invited everyone who “believes in Wales and its possibilities” to vote for Plaid Cymru as the only credible “pro-Wales government on offer in 2026”.
Speaking at an event in Cardiff Bay to mark 12 months until the Welsh General Election, Rhun ap Iorwerth MS will say:
“Wales is in desperate need of a fresh start and new ideas after 25 years of Labour in charge.
“I invite everyone who believes in Wales and its possibilities to seize the golden opportunity and vote for Plaid Cymru next year as the only credible pro-Wales government.
“Time and again over the last few months, the First Minister Eluned Morgan and her Labour government have put party before country. They have failed to stand up to Keir Starmer and given up on demanding fairness for Wales.
“In stark contrast, a Plaid Cymru government would demand a better deal for Wales at every turn so we can give you the public services you deserve.
“Health, wealth and Wales will be the focus of my government – one that will prioritise giving people the care they need where and when they need it, and tackle the ongoing cost-of-living challenges affecting so many.
“Electing another Labour First Minister will only achieve the same results – a faltering economy, stretched councils and a crisis hit NHS.
“So, on the 7th of May next year, I urge everywhere who wants to see real change, who wants a government not afraid of standing up to Westminster, and who believes that this is not as good as it gets for Wales to vote for Plaid Cymru.
“The choice is clear, four more years of Labour prioritising Labour’s interests, or a Plaid Cymru Government relentless in pursuing what’s right for Wales.”
