Abi Williams (died 1963) was a Welsh nationalist who briefly served as the President of Plaid Cymru.
A member of the Independent Labour Party, Williams was known for his oratory.[1] In 1936, he left the ILP and joined Plaid Cymru,[2] and as a result was victimised and dismissed from his job, surveying roads in Flintshire; he eventually received compensation for the dismissal.[3]
Despite not being a prominent figure in Plaid, he was elected President in 1943.[1][3] He was also selected as the party's prospective candidate for Merioneth.[3] However, he was unable to fulfil either responsibility, as he suffered with what was described as a "nervous condition", and the leadership of the party was in practice covered by his Vice President, Gwynfor Evans.[4]
Evans replaced Williams as the candidate for Merioneth in the 1945 general election, and replaced him as party President later in the year.[3]
Williams died early in 1963.[3]
