"No party has achieved the 49 seats needed to form a majority government, which means Plaid Cymru will have to form an alliance with another party. Rhun ap Iorwerth, leader of Plaid Cymru, told a press conference that his party stands ready to take the necessary steps to form the next Government of Wales, having won the most seats."
"In a speech following the defeat, Baroness Morgan said she was proud to have been the first woman to have held the job of Welsh first minister. She said: "I'm very proud of what Welsh Labour has achieved over all the years we've led in the Senedd, but today, the pressures on public services are enormous. That change is clearly not coming fast enough. We're living in turbulent times.""
Labour lost control of the Senedd for the first time, and the first minister also lost her seat in the Welsh parliament. Labour retained nine seats. Plaid Cymru led with 43 seats, while Reform UK followed with 34 seats. The Welsh Conservatives held seven seats, the Greens held two seats, and one Liberal Democrat seat was won. No party reached the 49 seats required for a majority government, so Plaid Cymru must form an alliance with another party. Rhun ap Iorwerth said Plaid Cymru stands ready to take the necessary steps to form the next Government of Wales after winning the most seats. Baroness Morgan said she was proud of Welsh Labour’s achievements but said pressures on public services are enormous and change is not coming fast enough.
