Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth says he plans to try to form a stable minority Welsh government in the Senedd by working cooperatively with other parties. He describes his approach as seeking “mature cooperation” across opposition parties rather than relying on conflict. Ap Iorwerth also says the Welsh administration would press the UK government for additional powers, pointing to areas such as policing and justice. The proposals are framed as a results-focused strategy for delivering policy rather than engaging in political disputes with Westminster. Speaking on the wider UK-Wales relationship, he argues that no UK prime minister can “cast Wales aside,” presenting the push for further devolution and greater influence over specific policy areas as part of that stance. Across the reports, the central elements are ap Iorwerth’s intention to pursue a minority government, his emphasis on cross-party cooperation, and his stated goal of negotiating more powers from the UK government.
