Plaid Cymru stalwart calls for immediate end to Cooperation Agreement with Labour

A prominent and longstanding member of Plaid Cymru has urged the party to pull out immediately from its Cooperation Agreement with Welsh Labour to avoid being tainted by association with Vaughan Gething.

Dr Dewi Evans, a retired consultant paediatrician, stood unsuccessfully to be national chair of Plaid in 2019.

He has written to all Plaid members in his home constituency of Carmarthen, urging them to join him in calling for an immediate end to the Cooperation Agreement.

In December 2021, the Welsh Labour government and Plaid Cymru signed a three-year deal, where the two parties agreed to work together in 46 policy areas. The agreement is not a coalition or confidence and supply agreement; Plaid Cymru remain in opposition but can appoint advisers to offices of the Welsh Government.
