Siân Gwenllian MS Working for the people of Arfon

Siân Gwenllian MS (Arfon) has reacted to the election of a new leader of the Plaid Cymru group on Cyngor Gwynedd. Cllr. Nia Wyn Jeffreys (Dwyrain Porthmadog) has been elected to succeed Dyfrig Siencyn as the leader of the Plaid Cymru group on the council, and the presumptive leader of the council itself.

Siân Gwenllian MS represents the Arfon constituency in the Senedd which covers the northernmost parts of Gwynedd. She said:

“I would like to congratulate Nia on her historic election as the first woman leader of the Plaid Cymru group on Cyngor Gwynedd, having also been the first woman to represent her ward as a councillor.

“During her time as Deputy Leader, Cyngor Gwynedd has frequently been cited as a radical and effective Council, and I am confident councils from around the UK will look to Gwynedd for inspiration in coming years.

“I know Nia has the experience and skills to lead the council during a hugely challenging time. I look forward to working with her on behalf of the people of Arfon and Gwynedd.”
