Rhodri Mabon ap Gwynfor is a Welsh Plaid Cymru politician who has been Member of the Senedd (MS) for Dwyfor Meirionnydd since 2021.[1]

Career

Ap Gwynfor was elected as a town councillor in Aberystwyth Town Council in 2004. He was later elected as a Denbighshire county Councillor for Llandrillo in 2017,[2] before resigning in August 2021.

He is the grandson of Plaid Cymru's first Member of Parliament and former president, Gwynfor Evans.[9]
