1/3 On Friday (8 May), Plaid Cymru won the most seats in the Senedd election. However, they did not get enough seats for a majority.

This means it might be difficult for them to get enough votes in the Senedd to make important decisions as other parties could vote against them.

[Learning Disability Wales @LdWales]

2/3 A political party needs to win 49 Senedd seats or more for a majority.

Plaid Cymru have decided to form a minority government. This means they do not have a majority. They will need to work with other parties to make sure they have enough votes to make decisions and laws.
