He has been reselected. Candidates from Labour, the Liberal Democrats, the Brexit Party, UKIP, and the official Monster Raving Loony Party have also been nominated. Plaid Cymru and the Greens have decided not to take part.

The poll takes place on 1 August.

Nominated candidates are

  • Welsh Conservatives: Chris Davies
  • Welsh Labour: Tom Davies
  • Welsh Liberal Democrats: Jane Dodds
  • Brexit Party: Des Parkinson
  • UKIP: Liz Phillips
  • The Official Monster Raving Loony Party: Lady Lily The Pink
