Plaid Cymru appoints Llyr Gruffydd as interim leader after Adam Price’s resignation | UK News

Plaid Cymru have appointed Llyr Gruffydd as interim leader.

His appointment follows Adam Price’s resignation on Wednesday night after a damning report into the party’s culture.

A party spokesperson confirmed on Thursday morning that Mr Gruffydd had been appointed unanimously by Plaid’s Senedd members.

The decision will have to be ratified by the party’s national council on Saturday.

If approved, Mr Gruffydd will take over from Adam Price next week before a new permanent leader will be elected in the summer.

Mr Gruffydd has been Senedd member for North Wales since 2011.

He is currently the party’s spokesperson on finance and local government and chair of the Senedd’s climate change, environment and infrastructure committee.
