Political career

Dr Dai began his political career in Swansea where he worked as a GP. In 1995 he sought election for Cockett ward, hitherto regarded as a Labour stronghold. He made gains at the election, coming close to beating Labour. At a subsequent by-election, however, he was elected as a councillor. In 1999 he held the seat and topped the poll.

He was the National Assembly for Wales Member for South Wales West from 1999 until 2011, when Plaid failed to win the second seat on the regional list. He served as Shadow Finance Minister for Plaid Cymru in the National Assembly. In 2012, he unsuccessfully sought to regain his former seat in the Cockett ward on Swansea Council. He was again unsuccessful at a by-election in 2015.
