Reform UK took two seats, and the Conservatives one seat in the new constituency created by combining Ceredigion Preseli and Mid and South Pembrokeshire.

Elin Jones said: "I am very happy with the result in Ceredigion Penfro, it has been an excellent election for us. Thank you very much to everyone who has supported us in all parts of the constituency and it will be an honour to represent everyone in Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire."
Plaid Cymru Ceredigion Penfro is very grateful to everyone who gave their time, energy and resources to make this victory possible. To the hundreds of volunteers who canvassed the streets and lanes of the countryside, rain or shine - thank you. To the supporters who gave financially to support the campaign - thank you. And to every member of the community who voted, put up a placard, or shared a message on social media — your contribution was very important, thank you.
We look forward to working hard for all the communities of Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire in the Senedd.
