Adam Price has told Plaid Cymru members he is quitting as leader days after a review found a culture of harassment, bullying and misogyny in the party.
It was a WalesOnline investigation which first exposed problems in the party. There is now set to be an interim leader in place for the party within days, a senior MP told the BBC on Thursday morning. The party's Senedd group will meet to agree the arrangements.
Mr Price announced his resignation in a letter to Plaid Cymru chair Marc Jones. He said: “We have driven the agenda for change in a way that no previous opposition party has dreamt of doing. The Cooperation Agreement was truly ground-breaking and has delivered life-changing benefits to our children, families and friends all over Wales.
