Reform UK has successfully retained two seats on Conwy County Council following by-elections in Llandudno's Mostyn and Tudno wards. The polls were necessitated after former councillors Louise Emery and Thomas Montgomery resigned from the authority, having been elected as Reform Members of the Senedd for the Clwyd constituency.
Mostyn Ward Results
In Mostyn, Reform candidate Gareth Probert emerged victorious with 496 votes. The Welsh Conservative Party's Gregory James Thomas Robbins secured second place with 406 votes, while Welsh Labour candidate David John Hawkins garnered 368 votes. David Parker Coffin, representing the Welsh Liberal Democrats, obtained 178 votes.
Cllr Probert expressed his gratitude, stating: "I am honoured to have been elected to represent Gogarth Mostyn. I would like to thank everyone who supported me, and I look forward to working hard for all residents as an active and accessible councillor."
Tudno Ward Results
In the Tudno ward, Reform candidate Richard Alan Davis secured election with 357 votes. The Welsh Conservative Party's Michael William Leslie Hall came second with 180 votes, while Welsh Labour's Joanna Elinor Sully Stallard received 171 votes. Green Party candidate Joshua Elis Morris obtained 71 votes, and Welsh Liberal Democrat candidate James Leonard Pethica received 43 votes.
These results demonstrate the continued support for Reform UK in the region, as the party maintains its presence on the council following the departure of the previous councillors.
