Port Talbot councillors elected after delayed vote following death of candidate

The results for a delayed Neath Port Talbot local council election have been announced following the death of an independent councillor and candidate. The election for the Port Talbot ward had previously been delayed due to the passing of independent councillor Andrew Tutton earlier in the year.

In a count that took place on June 23 in Port Talbot's Princess Royal Theatre, two seats were awarded to Saifur Rahaman of Welsh Labour with 914 votes, and Sharon Freeguard of Welsh Labour with 898 votes. There was a total of 3,038 votes cast across Port Talbot.
