Plaid Cymru's former leader Adam Price resigned in May after an internal report found a 'toxic culture surrounding harassment, bullying and misogyny' within the party
Rhun ap Iorwerth has been appointed leader of Plaid Cymru, the pro-Welsh independence party, which is currently the third largest group in the Senedd.The former BBC journalist was the party's deputy leader and health spokesperson and has been the Senedd member for Ynys Môn since 2013.It was unclear if he would stand as he had been selected as the Plaid Cymru candidate for the same constituency at Westminster.
Llyr Gruffydd was named interim leader earlier this month after Adam Price resigned following a damning report into allegations of a toxic culture within the party. "We've decided to face head on and immediately, serious challenges about culture within the party," he added."Every strong team needs leadership and if I can offer that leadership with them [the Plaid Cymru team], with you, well, I'm ready to do so and I'm excited about being able to do so."
The Senedd's Llywydd Elin Jones said early on that she would not throw her hat in the ring, telling S4C's current affairs programme Y Byd yn ei Le:"Don't worry Mum, I'm not going to stand".
