The Leader of Plaid Cymru, Rhun ap Iorwerth, campaigned in Carmarthen today (Wednesday, 29 April), just over a week before the people of Wales vote in an historic election to the Senedd.
The latest opinion polls suggest that the election will be extremely close between Plaid Cymru and Reform, with Labour - who have won every election to the Senedd since it was established in 1999 - far behind. Sir Gaerfyrddin, which covers the Westminster constituencies of Carmarthen and Llanelli, is one of the areas where a tight result is expected between the two parties.
Speaking on Carmarthen Square, a historical site for Plaid Cymru where it was announced that Gwynfor Evans had been elected as Plaid Cymru's first Member of Parliament in 1966, Rhun ap Iorwerth said:
"In just 8 days’ time, Sir Gâr and Wales have the opportunity to make history by electing the first Welsh Government answerable only to the people of Wales.
“With just over a week to go until the people of Wales go to the polls, it’s clear that this election is a two-horse race between Plaid Cymru and Reform. For new leadership for Wales, a credible plan to deliver it, and to stop Farage and Reform’s division and chaos, vote Plaid Cymru.”
Cefin Campbell, Plaid Cymru’s lead candidate in Sir Gaerfyrddin, added:
"Labour has left communities throughout this county down for too long, not giving adequate support to our health service, our schools and our local councils.
"It is so encouraging to speak with so many people on the doorstep who are turning to Plaid Cymru as the only party willing to stand up for Wales, give us new leadership and block a Reform government."
