Wales trends indicated the 2026 Senedd election delivered Plaid Cymru as the largest party with 43 Senedd seats, while Welsh Labour collapsed to 9 seats. With no party gained a majority, Plaid Cymru signaled a minority government, and First Minister Eluned Morgan fell from her seat. The election brought in a larger Senedd with 96 seats elected by closed-list PR, and turnout reached a record 51.6 percent, with NHS funding remaining a dominant campaign issue. Plaid Cymru hinted groundwork for a Welsh independence document, though a referendum isn't planned in the first term.
