Aberystwyth University will host an election hustings next week.

Organised by the Centre for Welsh Politics and Society, the event will take place on Zoom at 7pm on Tuesday, 27 April, and will be chaired by BBC journalist Sara Gibson.

Dr Lucy Taylor, from the Department of International Politics and one of the event’s organisers, said: “We are delighted to be hosting these hustings as people prepare to go to the polls for what looks like a fascinating election right across Wales.

“Although Covid has made face-to-face campaigning difficult, our Zoom hustings are a great opportunity to see how candidates respond to ordinary people’s questions and concerns.”

Open to the public, tickets for the event are available on Tocyn Cymru. Questions will be welcome in advance with instructions on how to submit questions provided once a place has been booked.

Invitations have been issued to all the main political parties to take part in the hustings.

At the time of publication, Amanda Jenner (Welsh Conservative), Elin Jones (Plaid Cymru), Dylan Lewis-Rowlands (Welsh Labour) and Cadan ap Tomos (Welsh Liberal Democrats) have confirmed they will be attending.

The event will be bilingual, with instantaneous translation provided for those who do not speak Welsh.
