Plaid Cymru lose Llanelli
Labour claimed traditional red seat Llanelli from Plaid Cymru by the narrowest of margins in the Welsh assembly elections.
Sitting AM Helen Mary Jones lost by just 21 votes to Catherine Thomas after a dramatic recount in the town.
She was defending a majority of just 688 from the inaugural 1999 election, when Plaid gained the seat, traditionally held in Westminster by Labour.
Her constituency gone, Plaid leading light Ms Jones - who appeared nervous for much of the night - had to rely on her place on the regional list to make a return to the assembly in Cardiff Bay.
