Plaid Cymru leader says Welsh elections a two-horse race with Reform UK

"For Labour, the party is over and so the election in May will be a choice between two contrasting futures. Tolerance or division, progress or decay, defiance or deference, culture or ignorance, humanity or indifference, Plaid Cymru or Reform. We all know that a Reform government would set our country back decades."

Rhun ap Iorwerth, leader of Plaid Cymru, addressed the International Convention Centre in Newport, characterizing the upcoming May elections as a two-horse race between his party and Reform UK. He presented the election as a fundamental choice between contrasting visions: tolerance versus division, progress versus decay, and culture versus ignorance. Iorwerth warned that a Reform government would set Wales back decades while criticizing Welsh Labour for exhausting its ideas after 27 years in power. Labour has governed Wales since the Senedd's establishment in 1999, though opinion polls suggest the May election could end their two-decade dominance. Iorwerth positioned Plaid Cymru as offering hope to overcome voters' fears of alternative political leadership.
