For Wales

2026 Manifesto

The election on 7 May will be the most important since the dawn of devolution.

It is an election which offers real hope for the future of Wales. That hope is represented by Plaid Cymru, with our prospectus for renewal, tangible action from day one, and a promise to always stand up for Wales.
