Exciting times in the world of Welsh politics! Swansea Council Leader, Cllr Rob Stewart, is throwing his hat in the ring for a spot in the Senedd next year. With over a decade helming the city’s council and a colourful past as a DJ, Rob’s ready to bring his experience to a wider stage.
But he’s not alone in the race for the newly-formed Gwyr Abertawe constituency. West Cross’s Cllr Rebecca Fogarty, a passionate advocate for young families, is also vying for the spot. She’s keen on ensuring those with young children have a voice in the Senedd.
The election marks a significant change with 16 new constituencies and parties listing candidates. Each constituency will see six Members of the Senedd (MS) taking roles, expanding the Senedd to 96 MSs in total. Parties will need to strategise on ranking their candidates to maximise their presence.
As we gear up for an election like no other, who will rise to represent Gwyr Abertawe? It’s all to play for, and the choices made here could set the tone for future generations. Keep your eyes peeled as the race heats up! #Senedd2025 #WelshPolitics #GwyrAbertawe
