PARTIES in Wales stepped up their campaign efforts today as opinion polls show a tightening race for the Welsh Parliament election on May 6.
The latest ITV YouGov poll suggests that Labour would still be the largest party with 26 seats (down from 29), Plaid Cymru on 17 and the Conservatives on 14.
Welsh Labour leader Mark Drakeford unveiled his party’s latest slogan: “if you value it, vote for it” on an advertising van to target seats in South Wales and in online messaging.
