Adam Price bids farewell in final speech to the Senedd as Plaid leader

Adam Price called for more diversity in the Senedd as he gave his final speech as Plaid Cymru leader. Mr Price spoke for the final time from the leader's lectern on Tuesday, May 16 after announcing his resignation last week.

Mr Price, who had led the party since 2018 and was previously dubbed the “prophetic son” of Welsh politics in Plaid’s own election literature, announced last Wednesday night he was quitting as leader days after a review found a culture of harassment, bullying and misogyny in the party.

Jointly commissioned by Mr Price and the party’s National Executive Committee, the report released earlier this month found “too many instances of bad behaviour by elected members” and spoke to Plaid members who said they felt "there is little point in raising concerns” due to a "lack of policies and procedures in place to deal specifically with sexual harassment.”
