Election season is well underway ahead of the Senedd election in May, with Plaid Cymru kicking off a ‘leaders tour’ in Wrexham.
Plaid Cymru leader, Rhun ap Iorwerth, is holding an open meeting on Thursday at 6pm in the Maesgwyn Hall.
Plaid Cymru say such open meetings will be a “key part” of their election campaign, “…giving people and communities across Wales the chance to have their say on key issues and discuss Rhun ap Iorwerth’s vision for a fairer, more ambitious Wales”, and as is common across parties they wish to have a ‘conversation’ with voters to deliver ‘real change’.
Speaking ahead of the event, First Minister hopeful Mr ap Iorwerth said that “more people are turning to Plaid Cymru’s hopeful vision” pointing to recent polling which places Plaid Cymru and Reform as doing well.
Rhun ap Iorwerth MS said, “Over the coming months, I will be travelling to all parts of Wales – north, south, east, west and everywhere in between – to engage with communities and hear their ideas about what a fairer, more ambitious Wales looks like to them.
“Next year’s Senedd election offers Wales a serious opportunity to elect a government focused on delivering for Wales. More and more people are turning to Plaid Cymru’s hopeful vision – real change can only happen if we build it together.
“While other parties take Wales for granted, offering more of the same having let our communities down for years on end, or see our communities as just another photo op; Plaid Cymru is the only party taking its positive message to the whole of Wales.
“So if you want to help build real change for our communities, come along and start a conversation with Plaid Cymru. It’s time to give Wales the fresh starts it truly needs.”
With the new electoral system Wrexham is now part of Fflint Wrecsam, and parties have lists of candidates in a numbered order.
Plaid Cymru lead candidate for Fflint Wrecsam, Carrie Harper said: “We’ve seen lots of people in Wrecsam switching to Plaid Cymru in recent years so it’s fitting to have Rhun’s leader tour of Wales start here. He’s already visited the constituency a number of times and understands the key issues we’re working with people on locally such as the Local Development Plan, access to dentistry and the challenges within our NHS.
“People want a plan to transform Wales and that is exactly what Plaid Cymru are putting on the table. I’m really looking forward to the meeting on Thursday evening as it will be an opportunity for people locally to discuss the vision Plaid has face to face with the leader of the party. Taking that time to listen and connect with voters is what makes Plaid different. We’re the only party who will put Wales first every time.”
