There will be a new look to the Senedd when it meets again in the coming days.
JAMES Evans has won the Brecon and Radnorshire seat in the 2021 Senedd election for the Conservatives. A bad day for the Liberal Democrats got worse as the party lost its last remaining outpost in Wales. The party s hopes of having any representatives in the Senedd now lie in picking up a regional list seat. The majority of 8,170 that former MS Kirsty Williams held at the last election was overhauled and turned into a majority of 3,820 for Mr Evans. James Evans paid tribute to Ms Williams for her service to the constituency, which must be appreciated . Mr Evans said: This is the biggest honour of my life, being able to represent my home, representing communities right across Brecon and Radnorshire is truly humbling.
In the regional election, voters chose from a list of parties to represent them. The South Wales East region includes the constituencies of Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Islwyn, Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney, Monmouth, Newport East, Newport West and Torfaen. The elected members for the region are Delyth Jewell and Peredur Owen Griffiths of Plaid Cymru and Laura Anne Jones and Natasha Asghar of the Conservative Party. Although Labour won 85,988 votes, the regional vote system takes into account constituencies won by each party within the region. Votes cast for parties which have won constituencies are effectively ‘worth’ less, and, as Labour won seven of the eight constituencies within South Wales East it is almost impossible for the party to win regional seats too.
