The 2018 election for the leader of the Welsh political party Plaid Cymru began on 7 August.[1] Voting closed at midnight on 27 September.[2] Adam Price was declared the winner on 28 September, defeating the two other candidates.[3]
A prospective leadership election was first announced after Rhun ap Iorwerth, Assembly Member (AM) for Ynys Môn and Adam Price, AM for Carmarthen East and Dinefwr, both declared their intention to challenge the incumbent leader, Leanne Wood.[4] Speculation about a leadership election arose after what were perceived to be disappointing showings in recent elections, which led some figures within the party to comment that Plaid was potentially stagnant.[5][6][7][8]
