Adam Price has quit as Plaid Cymru leader after a report exposed harassment, misogyny and bullying in his party. In a statement released on Wednesday, it was announced a new leader will be chosen in the summer.

The news comes after months of issues including toxic work culture within the party as well as one allegation of sexual assault. In his resignation letter, Price claims he wanted to quit earlier, but was persuaded not to, but has now taken the step after no longer having the “united support” of his colleagues.

In a letter to party chairman Marc Jones, Mr Price wrote: ”We have driven the agenda for change in a way that no previous opposition party has dreamt of doing. The Cooperation Agreement was truly ground-breaking and has delivered life-changing benefits to our children, families and friends all over Wales."
