Is the imam's supplication in the obligatory prayer in the plural or the singular?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the imam's supplication in the obligatory prayer in the plural or in the singular?

Answer:
No, it is in the singular. Each of them supplicates for himself, the imam and the followers. That is only in the qunut of the witr prayer in Ramadan, where he supplicates for everyone and uses the plural pronoun.
