RCT COUNCIL ELECTION RESULTS 2022

As counting closes and the full results from the local council elections here in Rhondda Cynon Taf have been announced, Welsh Labour has held control of the council and strengthened its position in the Rhondda Valleys.

While Council Leader Andrew Morgan retained his Mountain Ash seat, former Plaid Cymru group leader at the Council Pauline Jarman failed to be re-elected. Afterwards Wales Online reported her as saying “ I’ve achieved so much in my life – I’ve been a Councillor for 46 years and it took a boundary review and Welsh Government Cabinet to get rid of me…! There hasn’t been much I haven’t achieved and I’ve loved every minute of it”.
