Plaid Name Town By-Election Candidates

Plaid Cymru have named their candidates for the two Aberystwyth Town Council by-elections due to take place in Rheidol and Penparcau wards on September 18th.

Sandra Oliver will represent the party in Rheidol where she only narrowly failed to win a town council seat in May's local council elections. The Lib Dems are also fielding a candidate. Only last month Plaid Cymru's Aled Davies pulled off a stunning win in a County Council by-election there in what was, for many years, a safe Lib Dem seat.

In Penparcau, Owain Jones is Plaid's candidate. Labour and the Lib Dems are also in the contest here.
