Labour win this week’s one council by-election in Wales

Ynyshir, Rhondda Cynon Taf

No Liberal Democrat candidate, as has been the case all the way back to the ward’s creation in the mid-1990s, though the party did contest the other by-election for this council earlier in the year.

These by-election results round-ups cover principal authority by-elections. See my post The danger in celebrating parish and town council wins for your own party for the reasons to avoid straying too often into covering town, parish or community council by-elections.
