Plaid Cymru leader quits after damning report
The party's Senedd group will meet on Thursday morning to agree arrangements for an interim leader.
Party chairman Mr Jones thanked Mr Price "for his drive and vision over the past four and a half years".Welsh Conservative leader, Andrew RT Davies, said: "I have no doubt Adam Price's departure is a moment of personal sadness for him. Supporters will say it was an election like no other, one focused almost entirely on the public's broadly favourable opinion of the Welsh Labour government's handling of the pandemic.
But it is the drip, drip of negative stories over the last year, culminating in a damning report that found a toxic culture within the party that meant Adam Price's position was no longer tenable.Since last year Plaid Cymru has been dogged by claims of a toxic culture in the party, and it emerged last November that an allegation of sexual assault had been made against a senior member of staff.
Mr Price admitted the document left Plaid Cymru "harmed and tarnished". He apologised, but refused to quit.
