BOTH the Conservative and Plaid Cymru won two seats in the South Wales Central region. Rhys ap Owen and Heledd Fychan were elected for Plaid, with Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies retaining his seat in the region, along with Joel James. Neither Mr Davies nor Mr Jones attended the count at the Barry Memo Arts Centre today, despite the Welsh Conservatives securing their best ever Senedd result – winning 16 seats. On the party s overall result, Mr Davies said: “Firstly, I’d like to say a huge thank you to our outstanding set of Welsh Conservative candidates, activists and staff who’ve worked incredibly hard throughout this campaign and secured the party s best ever Senedd result.
Election day is upon us, and polling stations across Wales have been welcoming voters to decide who will form the next Welsh Government. Polling stations are open until 10pm but unlike previous years, counting and declarations will take place the following day due to rules designed to ensure the safety for those working to count and verify ballots. If you re heading out to vote don t forget to take a mask and your own pen or pencil. We ll be bringing you all the coverage of the counts and the results tomorrow.
