Cynog Dafis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cynog Glyndwr Dafis (born 1 February 1938) is a Welsh politician and member of the Plaid Cymru party.
He was an Member of Parliament for Ceredigion from 1992 until 2000, having been supported by a coalition of local Plaid Cymru and Green party activists. In 2000 he resigned to devote more time as a member of the National Assembly for Wales. In 2002, he announced he would step down from the Assembly at the 2003 elections, despite party leader Ieuan Wyn Jones having asked him not to do so. Soon after the elections in 2003, he announced his candidacy for leadership of the party, but lost to Dafydd Iwan.
