That’s a very good result for them. This was a new ward and the independent Kenneth Pritchard Hughes was expected to put in a strong showing, but came fourth with 12% of the votes. Again the Conservative candidates barely mustered a few percentage points of the vote between them, despite the island having a Conservative MP. How many councils represented by an MP of a particular stripe don’t have any councillors from that party? Whatever happens elsewhere I think that Plaid Cymru can probably safely say now that it’s been at least a decent day for them, even if that just means digging in further behind their ‘green dam’ as they did in 2019 and 2021.
Despite publicly joining Propel however, Peter Read was actually also standing as an independent here. Actor and comedian Mici Plwm (of ‘Plwmsan’ fame) was also standing for Plaid Cymru but came third. 2. 20pm There is worse news for Plaid Cymru in Crymych & Mynachlog-Ddu, Pembrokshire where last year’s Senedd candidate Cris Tomos has lost his Crymych seat to independent Shon Midway Rees. This was a seat where the boundaries had changed from last time, when Cris Tomos scored a shock victory, beating previous deputy leader Keith Lewis. 1. 51pm Bad news for fans of novelist Myfanwy Alexander who has lost her seat on Powys council in the new seat of Banwy, Llanfihangel and Llanwddyn (she was previously elected as an independent to Banwy). She was the Portfolio Holder for Adult Social Care, Welsh Language and Communications.

Photo Rhyshuw1, licensed under GNU Free Documentation License. 11. 49am Having just posted news of Plaid Cymru having a spring in their step and Labour more cautious in Carmarthenshire, news comes in of the result in Glanamman. This was another of the 23 wards to watch identified by Dr Dafydd Trystan. Labour’s Emyr Rees have just won the seat from Plaid Cymru’s David Jenkins with 56% of the vote to 44%. Labour were targeting seats in the Amman Valley to make gains and this result suggests that they have had some success in that. And @EmzTheSocialist is victorious in Glanamman 👏👍 pic.
” First Minister Mark Drakeford. Picture by Ben Birchall / PA Wire 8. 46pm First Minister Mark Drakeford has hit the Conservatives where it hurts, saying that they are no longer a party of the whole of the UK. “They represent a shrinking share of the whole of the United Kingdom, ” he said. “They’ve done very badly in Scotland, they’ve done very badly in Wales, they won’t be winning seats in Northern Ireland. “They have lost absolutely flagship councils in London. “If they were sensible they’d be asking themselves what can we do to demonstrate that we are a government for the whole of the United Kingdom. “And that would mean acting very differently to the way they have acted over the last couple of years.
This was one of Labour’s only chances of winning a single council seat in Gwynedd and they’ve pulled it off. Caernarfon is the most Welsh speaking town in Wales, solid Plaid Cymru territory electorally, and the seat of the county council so this may not count that much in the grand scheme of things in terms of control of the council but will probably sting a little.
Perhaps post-Covid, when they were prepared to strongly criticise Westminster and deviate from the UK Government, Welsh Labour has simply stolen their clothes as the small ‘n’ Welsh nationalist option across much of the rest of the country? 6. 23pm Labour think they’re on course to win around 50 seats in Cardiff, compared to 39 in 2017. It could take a while longer to eke out the remaining seats across Wales as some of the staff counting head home for the day. The position of most councils across Wales is by now clear, however, with just the Vale of Glamorgan, Neath Port Talbot and Rhondda Cynon Taf yet to entirely take shape. 6. 22pm While the Conservatives are licking their wounds the Liberal Democrats are revelling in their success in Powys, where they emerged as the largest party. They unseated the incumbent leader of Powys County Council.
Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Jane Dodds (left) and Jackie Charlton (right) 11. 31am We suggested that Powys was one to watch and a big result has just come in which is that the leader of the council, Rosemarie Harris, has lost her seat in Llangatwg to the Liberal Democrats. Lib Dem Jackie Charlton has won the seat from the independent candidate by 541 to 455 votes. Alongside that big William Powell win below that seems to point at a Lib Dem resurgence here as we’ve seen over the border in England.
7. 20pm It seems that the candidate that lost by a landslide 95% in Gwynedd, winning 27 votes to his opponent’s 548, was a campaigner against a second homes tax. Given that he manages to misspell Gwynedd in his statement and his son misspells Llŷn Peninsula, I must admit to not being entirely surprised by the outcome. My father stood for election on the Lynn Peninsula in North Wales yesterday, he got a lot of stick on social media but he wanted to raise an important principle of affordable housing for local people in an economy often reliant on tourism & 2nd homes. https://t. co/s1uJXAKq8Y — Charles Fifield (@charlesfifield) May 6, 2022 7. 13pm Just to finish off one sub-plot that has been bubbling away on the pages of Nation.
Now it only elects one and has gone for the independent, Paul Pemberton. This may be a sign that Labour aren’t winning back quite the amount of ground they need to challenge the Conservative and independent majority running the council. Elsewhere, Plaid Cymru have gained Smithfield and the new Gwersyllt South. Labour have so far gained only one ward, Cefn West. 12. 44pm Having slated Anglesey and Ceredigion for their tardiness in the previous post we have a result from both. Two Plaid Cymru and an independent elected in Lligwy, Anglesey. That’s one gain for Plaid Cymru from an independent there. In Ceredigion, Plaid Cymru have won two seats in Penparcau – that’s a gain and a hold.

Penparcau was where the Liberal Democrat councillor was thrown out / had to leave the party last year for suggesting immigrants were to blame for pressure on the ambulance service. 12. 40pm Some councils such as Carmarthenshire, Flintshire and Gwynedd seem to be racing ahead with their results whereas in some cases such as Cardiff, Anglesey and Ceredigion we’re yet to hear much of a peep results-wise. From the limited results we have so far, Plaid Cymru seems to be holding up well in Carmarthenshire, the Liberal Democrats have scored a couple of good results in Powys including unseating the previous party leader, and Labour are confident in Blaenau Gwent and Flintshire and making modest gains elsewhere.
The latest from the Powys count at the Royal Welsh showground in Llanelwedd where the ‘crushed into the cube’ party could soon be making gains on the ‘car’ party. Calls for owners of cars – to move them as they are blocking access to the Showground – warning that count could stop unless moved – and a forklift could be used to move them! — Elgan Hearn Local Democracy Reporter (@ElganHearnLDR) May 6, 2022 11. 55pm Another very interesting result and a narrow win in Caernarfon, Gwynedd. Coj Parry from Labour has won the new seat of Hendre, which makes up the south-west of the town, beating Anna Jane Evans from Plaid Cymru by 310 votes to 303.
com/eWxbDJ9fCd — Lee Waters MS (@Amanwy) May 6, 2022 11. 41am More from Carmarthenshire where Plaid Cymru are now suggesting that a majority might be within their grasp and Labour are dampening down expectations, saying it will be difficult for them to stay still let alone gain new councillors. It’s early days of course and Plaid Cymru have counted their chickens before they’ve hatched in the past (see Aberconwy in last year’s Senedd elections) but it suggests we may not see the kind of Labour gains here that a party with real late-90s esque momentum perhaps should be mustering. If Plaid Cymru really can win additional seats here it could point to decent results for them overall. We saw a similar phenomenon at last year’s Senedd elections and the 2019 elections however where Plaid Cymru did very well in their traditional heartlands but stood still or went backwards elsewhere.

The Tories meanwhile have said that they have concerns, particularly in the north-east of the country. Y Bala and Llyn Tegid Reservoir – where the majorities are as big as the bodies of water. Picture by Mecrothesp (CC BY-SA 3. 0). 12. 14pm There have been some tight and not so tight election results. Glynog Davies of Plaid Cymru has won Cwarter Bach in Carmarthenshire by 18 votes. Labour held Holywell Central in Flintshire by one vote. In Y Bala Dilwyn Morgan won his seat for Plaid Cymru with 88% of the vote, by a whopping 618 votes to the Green Party’s 88.
twitter. com/4r28phrSee — Alex Seabrook (@AlexGSeabrook) May 6, 2022 Elsewhere in Cardiff, Labour have won the two seats now available in Llanishen, previously represented by four Conservative incumbents. 5. 23pm Well, it’s been a night of council leaders losing their seats here in Wales. We’ve had Powys and Caerphilly, and previous Merthyr leader Kevin O’Neill… The latest is Emlyn Dole, Plaid Cymru leader in Carmarthenshire who loses his seat in Llannon. That will be disappointing for them on what hasn’t been too bad a day for Plaid Cymru across the county, with 30 seats so far.
com/MMJF2SN5Df — Lisa O’Carroll (@lisaocarroll) May 6, 2022 1. 07pm The Lib Dem train keeping a-rolling in Powys where they have won Newtown North by a single vote after a re-count. Adam Kennerley of the Lib Dems got 301 votes and Dan Rowlands of the Conservatives 300. Every vote counts! As well as in Powys there’s bad news for the Conservatives in Monmouthshire where a senior source has told the BBC they fear they will be “convincingly defeated”. This might, of course, just be expectations management and when they lose their majority there by a smaller margin they will be able to spin it as something of a victory. 1. 00pm Over to Wrexham where a huge pile of results have been dumped on us all at once. But they’re very interesting ones! The ward of Ponciau was identified in the run-up to the election as one that needed watching. This previous two member ward elected one Labour and one independent member.

5. 05pm Labour has held Rhondda Cynon Taf council, winning 41 so far of the 53 seats declared, out of 73 in total. Plaid Cymru have eight so far and there are four independents, and no Conservatives as of yet. Last time there were 47 Labour councillors, 17 Plaid Cymru, and seven independents. There were also three Conservatives.
Photo credit should read: Anthony Devlin/PA Wire 1. 17pm Plaid Cymru have gained the seat of Offa in Wrexham, on top of Smithfield and the new Gwersyllt South mentioned earlier, which suggests they are having a good day there. I drove through Wrexham a few days ago and the huge Plaid Cymru billboard near the Racecourse Ground was quite a stand out feature. I mentioned ‘beyond Offa’s Dyke’ to refer to England earlier in this blog, but perhaps counterintuitively, Offa’s dyke is on the west side of Wrexham.
