🔴 LIVE from Bedwas! The much-anticipated Caerphilly by-election debate is set to spark tonight at 7pm! 🎥✨
Six eager candidates are vying for your vote to become the next Senedd member for Caerphilly. The debate, broadcast live, promises to be a stirring display of political prowess and public engagement.
Meet the candidates: Richard Tunnicliffe (Labour), Gareth Potter (Conservatives), Lindsay Whittle (Plaid Cymru), Llyr Powell (Reform UK), Steve Aicheler (Welsh Lib Dems), and Gareth Hughes (Green Party). They’ll debate policies and address pressing questions from an audience of 74 selected community members, ensuring a variety of perspectives are heard.
Why is this by-election so crucial? Historically held by Labour, Caerphilly is at a political crossroads as polls indicate a dip in Labour support, with Plaid Cymru and Reform UK on the rise. With Labour’s numbers slipping from 40% to 14% since 2021, the stakes are high and the outcome unpredictable.
Beyond the battle for votes, this election could directly impact the Welsh Government budget—a critical juncture in shaping Wales’s future. With so much on the line, the debate is your chance to hear firsthand what each hopeful has to offer.
Don’t miss a minute of the action. Settle in with a cuppa and join the conversation. Who will win your support and possibly the seat? Tune in tonight for the showdown! 🌟👥
