The candidates for the Abercynon by-election on Rhondda Cynon Taf Council have been revealed. The by-election for the Abercynon ward is being held on Thursday, November 17 after Marcia Rees-Jones who won a seat there for Labour in May decided to stand down.
The candidates include Jeffrey Lee Baxter of the Green Party, Andrew James Dennis of Labour, Adam Robinson of the Conservatives and Matt Skinner of Plaid Cymru. Jeffrey Lee Baxter, the Green Party candidate said: “My name is Jeff Baxter and I am the Green Party candidate for the Abercynon by-election for RCT County Borough Council.
“I am standing for the Green Party because even the massive and destructive floods in RCT in February 2020 were not enough to wake other political parties up from their complacent approach to climate change. As an active community organiser I have founded two community organisations as well as a business in Rhondda Cynon Taf as well volunteering for a range of local organisations.
