The Carmarthen East and Dinefwr Assembly Member Adam Price is the new leader of Plaid Cymru following a leadership election.
Mr Price took almost 50% of the vote in a three-way contest between previous leader Leanne Wood and Rhun ap Iorwerth. Ms Wood, who became leader six years ago, was knocked out in the first round of voting.
The new Plaid Cymru leader tweeted: “It is a huge honour to be elected leader of Plaid_Cymru. Firstly, my thanks to Leanne Wood for her hard work since 2012 and to her and Rhun ap Iorwerth for such a good campaign.
“Secondly to those who supported me and all our party’s members for taking part in the election. Thanks, then, to the party’s staff for administering the election so well and arranging all its events. The work of all of us starts today. By rolling up our sleeves together, we will now win a new Wales.”
