Political career

Whittle was born in Caerphilly in South Wales, and lives in Abertridwr, Caerphilly. He repeatedly won local council elections since he entered politics in 1976, while working for several decades as a housing manager in Cardiff. He was first elected Leader of Caerphilly County Borough Council between 1999 and 2004, and a second time in from 2008 to 2011.[2] He is also the Welsh Local Government Association's spokesperson on Equalities, Community Safety and Social Justice.[3] He stood in every Welsh Assembly election since its formation in 1999, and eight times for the Westminster Parliament seat of Caerphilly.[3] In 2011 he was elected as Assembly Member for South Wales East in the National Assembly for Wales.[4]
