A The changes in party councillors in this table differs from that list by the BBC because it is based purely on changes from the 2004 election, not taking into account mid-term party defections or by-elections

Outcome

After this election the council remained in no overall control with the Liberal Democrats remaining the largest party on the council, after a net gain of seats. All parties gained seats, other than Labour who halved their seat share from the previous election. Three Independents were elected for the first time since 1999, although two of these were former Conservative councillors that defected during the previous term. [3]

The Liberal Democrats formed a coalition with the Plaid Cymru group to lead the council; Liberal Democrat Rodney Berman became council leader, with Neil McEvoy of Plaid Cymru and Judith Woodman of the Liberal Democrats becoming deputy leaders. [4] The Conservative Party emerged as the official opposition on the council, after they became the second largest party.

The fifth election to the Carmarthenshire County Council was held on 1 May 2012. It was preceded by the 2008 election and was followed by the 2017 election. Plaid Cymru won 28 seats whilst Labour and the Independents won 23 each. The main feature of the election was a Labour recovery in the Llanelli area, and to some extent in the Gwendraeth and Ammanford area also, mainly at the expense of Independent candidates.
