So Alun Davies won the nomination to stand for the next Assembly seat for Labour in Blaenau Gwent, I hear. I also understand that it was a very close competition.
So, the fight between Alun Davies and Trish Law starts here. AMs representing the Mid and West area are waking up happy this morning I can bet. I can see the press releases now- ‘Alun Davies doesn’t priortise this area, he’s more interested in South East Wales’…hmmm.
Trish Law will relish the chance to prove that she can retain the seat. It may make plenary session debates more interesting, anyway!
Alun Davies is either ready for the challenge- which may be made easier if the Tories win in Westminster, or is annoyed that he didn’t hold out to try for the Islwyn or Aberafan seat which Labour members are undoubtedly fighting over to win nominations for. Time will tell.
But on another note, do any of the Labour members out there know how Alun Pugh did? I swear the press were reporting it as an Alun v Alun fight a few months ago.
Alun Pugh failed to get shortlisted.
Who is standing for Plaid?
