Jeremy Corbyn will visit Bangor on Sunday afternoon, 8 December, just four days before Britain goes to the polls in the General Election.
Bangor-born Steffie Williams Roberts is standing for Labour in Arfon, which is the closest marginal seat in Wales. Plaid Cymru held the seat at the last election, in June 2017, by just 92 votes.
Arfon will be contested by Labour (Steffie Williams Roberts), Plaid Cymru (Hywel Williams), the Conservatives (Gonul Daniels) and the Brexit Party (Gary Francis Gribben).
The Liberal Democrats have withdrawn their candidate in Arfon after agreeing a ‘pro-EU electoral pact’ with Plaid Cymru and the Green Party. The pact means that candidates will stand aside for each other in 11 of the 40 seats in Wales, to increase the chances of a Remain-supporting MP being elected.
A crowd of over a thousand people gathered when Mr Corbyn visited Bangor in August 2017.
A statement about the visit said: “Jeremy Corbyn will be in Arfon to talk about how we win a better society, and we hope you can join him.
“This election is a once in a generation chance for us. Together we can reverse a decade of austerity. Take power from the billionaires, the bad bosses and the big polluters and give it to workers, young people, communities and everyone the Tories have failed for so long.
“We’re coming together to make our voices heard in Arfon this weekend. This is about getting together, being inspired, and making a difference in the final week.”
Places are limited for the event and registrations are open.
Please note the location of the rally will be emailed out to all those who register to attend 24hrs before the event, and the email will need to be shown on the door.
