Just weeks into the election campaign, two candidates standing locally have stepped down.
On Thursday, Plaid Cymru candidate for Caerdydd Penarth, Neil Roberts, announced he would step down after an offensive tweet was uncovered.
Roberts was fourth on the party's list, with the messages in question being part of an exchange on the social media platform Twitter back in 2021.
Mr Roberts was replying to a tweet which read: "Very against having kids just for the sake of it. Don't have children if you're not capable of raising them."
He responded by using a grossly offensive term about children, followed by “are for life not just for Christmas”
Meanwhile, on Friday, a Reform UK Candidate in the Pen-y-bont Bro Morgannwg constituency has stood down, citing his mental health after photos of him appearing to strike a Nazi salute appeared online.
Corey Edwards, who was the lead candidate in the constituency, will no longer stand for the party.
A Reform UK Wales spokesperson said: “Corey Edwards has informed us that he is stepping down as a candidate for the Senedd election this May, citing issues with his mental health.
“We wish him well for the future and hope his privacy can be respected at this difficult time.”
Following the announcement of his withdrawal on Thursday, Plaid Cymru Candidate Neil Roberts said, "Years ago, I made a comment using online slang that was inappropriate and crude. The language I used was wrong, and I take full responsibility for it. I apologise unreservedly for the offence and concern it has caused.
"I recognise that those seeking public office have a responsibility to promote respectful and constructive debate. This is something I have sought to do since entering politics, and will continue to strive towards.
"However, I do not want this to detract from the campaign or from the issues that matter to our community. I am therefore stepping down as a candidate with immediate effect."
