Nerys Evans AM, Mid and West Wales: "Dafydd has been an excellent President and should be given the opportunity to continue with the great work that he's been undertaking for the party. He is always willing and eager to help members across Wales whenever he is asked. His contribution to the party is beyond measure and has an unrivalled natural ability to motivate and inspire not just Plaid Members but the people of Wales."
Geraint Davies, Rhondda's first Assembly Member:
"Pam ydw i'n cefnogi Dafydd?
Pam fod eira'n wyn?"
Cllr Pauline Jarman, Plaid Group Leader, Rhondda Cynon Taf:
"We had our best Local Government results under his Presidency."
Cllr Dyfrig Jones, Bethesda: "I'm supporting Dafydd because he has an unique connection with the ordinary members, and because he has shown himself to be an exemplary president over the past few years"
Cllr Janice Dudley, Neath:
"It is with pleasure that I support Dafydd in this campaign for president. He has given his life for Wales and has been an inspiration to me. He has encouraged me in my political career as he has done for thousands of others throughout Wales and I wish him well."
Cllr Sian Caiach, Hengoed, Carmarthenshire:
"I’ve known Dafydd since the ‘70s. He’s been a wonderful colleague in Plaid and has given me and many other people fantastic support. He’s always willing to help the party in every part of Wales. His visits and fundraising are invaluable."
Chris Heighway, Secretary- CymruX (Cardiff):

Wil Lloyd Davies, Chair, Arfon Constituency:
"Dafydd Iwan has been a towering figure in Plaid Cymru for decades, and no-one can match his ability to inspire members in every corner of Wales. The committee gave him our unanimous backing to serve another term."
Elin Tudur, Canton Branch:

Alun Cox,
Chair, Rhondda Constituency:Cllr Howard Davies, Aberaman South:
"He is a passionate 'Cymro' whose beliefs are typical of Plaid Cymru members the length and breadth of the country."
Cllr Marian Binney, Brynaman, Carmarthenshire:
"Without question he’s the best man for the job – great personality, easy manner of communication on all levels – an excellent choice for president."
Eleri Lovgreen, Caernarfon Branch: "No one can spark people's enthusiasm like Dafydd Iwan. He has been doing this regularly for over 40 years and long may it continue!"
Cllr Sian Gwenllian, Gwynedd: "I believe that Dafydd Iwan can inspire our members and attract new supporters all over Wales at a time when Plaid needs to move ahead with confidence to improve the lives of all our citizens."
Rhydian Fôn James, Bontnewydd Branch: "As a young member of Plaid Cymru, determined to deliver as best I can for the party and ambitious for our success, Dafydd Iwan is a true inspiration. As an able politician, he manages to be radical in his ideas, and brave in supporting the right ideas – to see someone prepared to do this, in an age when most politicians seem to blow with the wind, is encouraging to the younger generations. He is always prepared to listen to new ideas, and to actively discuss them, thus engaging with the membership. His greatest asset is his ability to make members feel that they have support, and a friend, in the party leadership – and this makes members want to campaign for the cause, in good times, and in bad times. There is no doubt in my mind that Dafydd Iwan is the right man to be president of Plaid Cymru."
Cllr Alan Speake, Carmarthenshire: "I have every faith in Dafydd therefore I am backing Dafydd mainly because of his leadership qualities, his passion for our nation and language and his long standing commitment supporting our vital public services which at present seem to be under huge pressure by the present government!"
Pam Morgan, Gwaun Valley, Pembrokeshire: "I think Dafydd has done a first class job and should be congratulated- the best way is to support him in the forthcoming election."
