Jane Dodds and Plaid Cymru claim six Sir Gaerfyrddin seats
jane dodds was not the name on the Sir Gaerfyrddin count, but the result was clear: Plaid Cymru and Reform UK claimed all six seats in the 2026 Senedd election. The constituency, built from the Westminster seats of Caerfyrddin and Llanelli, now sends six members to the Senedd under a proportional system.
Plaid Cymru’s elected representatives included Cefin Campbell, Nerys Evans and Adam Price. Price, the party’s former leader, paid tribute to new leader Rhun Iorwerth after the result.
Sir Gaerfyrddin count
Sir Gaerfyrddin is one of Wales’ 16 constituencies in the 2026 contest, and each elects six politicians. That means the full local representation for the area was decided in a single result rather than through a separate race for one seat.
The six-seat format matters for voters because it leaves no remaining constituency places to be filled once the count is complete. For Sir Gaerfyrddin, the parties that emerged with the seats will take every constituency place available under the new arrangement.
Plaid Cymru winners
Plaid Cymru’s list in Sir Gaerfyrddin included Campbell, Evans and Price. Evans is a former Assembly Member, while Price entered the Senedd as one of the elected representatives in the result.
Price’s tribute to Iorwerth pointed to the party leadership behind the campaign as the result was declared in full. The election outcome gave Plaid Cymru a share of the seats in a constituency where all six places were allocated at once.
Reform UK in Sir Gaerfyrddin
Reform UK also claimed seats in Sir Gaerfyrddin, leaving the two parties to take every constituency place. The result was calculated through proportional representation, the system used for Wales’ 16 constituencies in this election.
For voters in Caerfyrddin and Llanelli, that means the constituency map has translated directly into six Senedd members for Sir Gaerfyrddin. The practical next step is the work those members will do once they take their seats for the 2026 term.
