Council control after election

Plaid Cymru and Independent coalition

The 2022 Carmarthenshire County Council election took place on Thursday 5 May 2022 [1] to elect 75 members to Carmarthenshire Council. On the same day, elections were held to the other 21 local authorities and to community councils in Wales as part of the 2022 Welsh local elections.

Contents

Plaid Cymru won a majority of seats for the first time, whilst losing their leader, Emlyn Dole. [2] Welsh Labour regained some ground in Carmarthenshire by winning seats in the Amman Valley and Llanelli constituency from Plaid Cymru. New Independent lost one seat overall and their leader, Jeff Edmunds and the Conservatives' only councillor, Shahana Najmi, also lost her seat.

Despite winning a majority of seats, Plaid Cymru formed a coalition with eight independent councillors.

Background

Council elections in Wales were originally scheduled for May 2021, but were delayed to avoid a conflict with the 2021 Senedd election. The frequency of the elections was also increased from 4 years to five years to avoid future clashes, meaning (after 2022) the next council election is expected in 2027.

The number of councillors were increased by 1 after the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales recommended the change in a report in August 2019. [3] Although there was an increase from 74 to 75 seats in the council, the number of wards were decreased to 51 from 58. [4]

The Plaid Cymru group in conjunction with Independent group had been in control of the council since May 2015. [5] Labour claimed to be confident of success, though had suffered a number of resignations from the party since the last election. Many former Labour members were standing in this election as New Independents. [6]

Boundary changes

In July 2021 Welsh Government accepted a number of ward change proposals by the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales, with slight modifications on Welsh language names for some wards. These are to take effect from the 2022 council election. [7] The changes gave a better parity of representation. Thirty-four wards remained unchanged. [4] Of the other wards: [8]

Overview of results

Plaid Cymru won 38 out of 75 seats to gain a majority on the council for the first time, despite the defeat of their leader, Emlyn Dole.
