Michael Parry (Ind),                                         106  17.91%

Hefin Underwood (Non Party Independent)          269 45.44%
Alan Williams (Plaid Cymru)                              168 28.38%

Non Party Independent gain from Llais Gwynedd    

So an interesting result that  in that Llais Gwynedd  came last in a seat they previously  though Plaid will be disapointed it was not them that took the seat.

The winning cadisate Hefin Underwood is down as a Non Party Independent so might not join the Independent group and we can wonder if he has any political alliance?

His election has not changed the Dynamics of Gwynedd Council with Plaid short of a majority by One.
