He gained more than 15,000 followers on Twitter after he created the popular site, which displays the data of Wales’ coronavirus case and death stats in each local authority.

Lloyd said: “I’m planning on doing some explainers and infographics in the lead up to the election. I will probably do a piece on tactical voting, especially in relation to the regional list.
