Adam Price has been Plaid's leader since 2018 and he is also a member of the National Assembly of Wales where the party is the second biggest grouping behind Labour.
The party, which identifies as socially democratic, wants Welsh independence and launched its manifesto on Nov. 22 with the slogan, "Wales, It's Us". Many of its proposals apply only to Wales.
