Plaid Cymru unveil Rhun ap Iorwerth as party's new leader
Plaid Cymru's new leader Rhun ap Iorwerth

PLAID Cymru unveiled its new leader yesterday after Rhun ap Iorwerth was the only candidate to enter the race to succeed Adam Price after his shock resignation.

The nationalist party was rocked by the publication last month of former Senedd member Nerys Evans’s report in setting out 82 recommendations to deal with allegations of misogyny, racism and bullying in the party.

Mr ap Iorwerth is a former BBC journalist and represents Anglesey in the Senedd as well as being the party’s former deputy leader and health spokesman.
