Plaid Cymru Senedd Election Manifesto

April 9 – April 9, 2026

Where Things Stand

Plaid Cymru is currently campaigning on its newly released manifesto ahead of the Senedd election, positioning itself to form its first government. The platform's core promises, including a commission on independence and universal childcare, now serve as the party's primary pitch to voters. If successful, these policies would significantly shift the Welsh government's approach to healthcare staffing and social welfare.
