The full election result for Carmarthenshire as Plaid remains the largest party despite leader losing seat

Plaid Cymru remains the largest party in Carmarthenshire, despite their leader losing his seat. The results of this year's election were incredibly similar to that of 2017.

Plaid won 38 seats, compared to 23 for Labour and 14 for independent candidates. Five years ago, Plaid Cymru had 36 councillors, Labour 22 and independents 16. The shock moment of the day came when Carmarthenshire Council leader Emlyn Dole lost his seat in Llannon, losing his place to fellow Plaid Cymru candidate Llinos Mai Davies by only seven votes.

Mr Dole has spent 14 years elected as a county councillor and seven of those as leader. You can read more about that by clicking here.
