Llyr Gruffydd MS promises reform as he's confirmed acting leader of Plaid Cymru

Plaid Cymru's interim leader Llyr Gruffydd MS has promised to “reflect, reform, and renew” the party after a damning report exposed a toxic culture. He was speaking after Adam Price quit as leader on May 11 following the Prosiect Pawb review which found a culture of harassment, bullying and misogyny in the party.

Mr Gruffydd was nominated unanimously by the Plaid Cymru Senedd Group as the party’s Interim leader on Thursday and the decision was formally ratified by the party’s National Council this morning (SAT MAY 13). It was a WalesOnline investigation which first exposed problems in the party.

Mr Gruffydd is expected to formally take over leadership duties from outgoing leader Adam Price on May 17. Plaid Cymru confirmed the nominations for a new, permanent Leader would close on June 16, with a new leader in place by the summer.
