Abstract: Here we prove that infinitely renormalizable unicritical polynomials $ P_c:z \mapsto z^d+c$, with $ c\in\mathbb{C}$, satisfying a priori bounds and a certain ``combinatorial'' condition are combinatorially rigid. This implies the local connectivity of the connectedness loci (the Mandelbrot set when $ d=2$) at the corresponding parameters.
