In Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire, the Conservatives have held the seat but with a new MS.
THE Conservatives have kept the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire seat with Sam Kurtz winning the vote. Seven candidates fought it out for long-serving Welsh Conservative Angela Burns’ seat after she announced she would be standing down. Mr Kurtz received 11,240 votes around 900 more than Labour’s Riaz Hassan who had 10,304. Mr Kurtz, who at 29 will be one of the younger MS in Cardiff, thanked the people for “putting their trust in me to serve them well for the next five years.” He added it was a “privilege” to take over from Mrs Burns who was “such a dedicated member of the Senedd.”
