THE CONSERVATIVES have held on to their Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire seat despite Labour closing the gap.
Sam Kurtz will take over the seat from the outgoing Angela Burns who held a majority of 3,400 at the last election.
This time, the gap was just 936 to Labour’s Hassan Riaz who picked up 10,304 votes.
Plaid Cymru’s Cefin Campbell picked up 6,615 votes.
The turnout in Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire was slightly up to 52.12% from 51.2% in 2016.
However, with a larger electorate thanks to votes for 16/17-year-olds, the number of votes cast went up by almost 3,000.
