Luke Evetts has just been selected to stand in Ceredigion at the general election.
According to wikipedia:
"Raised in the south of Ceredigion, Luke Evetts is currently living in Penparcau, Aberystwyth with his wife. Educated in Cei Newydd Primary School before attending Ysgol Gyfun Emlyn until 18, he recently graduated with a law degree from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth.
"As chair of the Aberystwyth Conservative Branch, he has also stood as a candidate for the Cei Newydd (New Quay) ward in the 2008 County Council Election, where he secured over a third of the vote. Luke Evetts is also an active member of Cadw Calon Aberystwyth, having started the successful petition to prevent overdevelopment in the historic town centre."
The Ceredigion constituency has a long history of Liberal/Lib Dem representation, although was briefly held by Labour in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and had a Plaid Cymru MP between 1992 and 2005, when Mark Williams regained it for the Lib Dems. He has a notional majority of 218 over Plaid Cymru, with the Tories in third place on 12.4% of the vote.
