Delyn was retained quite comfortably by Labour in 2016 with a 15-point majority, but it is one of the Welsh red wall seats that the Conservatives narrowly picked up in 2019.

Labour will be pleased at having comfortably held the constituency this time around.

The victory may help the party get closer to 31 seats than would have been the case if Wales' red wall had voted Conservative once again.

Lesley Griffiths holds the seat with just over 37% of the vote.

Labour have held Caerphilly.

Hefin David holds the seat for Labour with 46% of the vote.

He has been a Member of the Senedd since 2016.

Janet Finch-Saunders has held Aberconwy for the Conservatives.

She has held the seat since 2011 and increased her majority from 754 last time to 3,336 this year.

And we have another result in…

Labour hold Delyn.

Hannah Blythyn, the deputy minister for housing and local government, took 12,846 of the votes.

She has been the MS for Delyn since 2016.

The Conservatives’ Mark Isherwood came second with 9,135 votes.

Labour now has a majority of 3,711, up from 3,382.

New Vale of Clwyd MS Gareth Davies thanked voters for “putting their trust in me”.

The Conservative said: “I look forward to getting to work, in the constituency which is my home, and I will be proud to represent.”

He also thanked former Labour MS Ann Jones, who held the seat for 22 years for Labour before announcing she would stand down ahead of this year’s election.

More from Wrexham... The declaration is expected shortly, however Conservatives are now not expecting to win the seat.

A party source says they believe Wrexham will be a Labour hold.

The seat has been a high-profile battleground between the parties and saw a visit from Boris Johnson.

Sticking in the north-east, a Plaid Cymru source says they think Wrexham is leaning towards Labour.

The seat has seen high profile visits from party leaders Sir Keir Starmer and Mark Drakeford during campaigning.

Plaid's Carrie Harper had hoped to take it from Lesley Griffiths, who has held it for Labour since 2007.

With the Delyn count almost finished, Labour sources are saying it “looks OK” for them.

Hannah Blythyn won it for the party in 2016 with 40.9% of the vote.

Vale of Clwyd is 'crucial marginal seat'published at 16:19 BST 7 May 2021

The Vale of Clwyd is a crucial marginal seat that Labour were trying to defend but which was one of the Conservative red wall victories in 2019.

The Conservatives' narrow success here is perhaps the first clear sign that Labour are going to struggle to achieve the 31 seats needed for an overall majority, and that the Conservatives may register important gains during the course of this afternoon.

A Labour spokesman says about the result: "Jason run them very close and has a lot to be proud of. We’ll be back."

The party failed to hold the seat despite Ann Jones having represented the area since the start of devolution in 1999.

It was gained by the Welsh Conservatives on a small margin.

Unlike in Ynys Mon, Plaid Cymru in Aberconwy say they're not feeling as confident as they were earlier. They think the Welsh Conservatives will hold by a small margin.

Sampling in the Llanrwst ward area suggests Aaron Wynne has done very well for Plaid Cymru, but that’s not a shock as he is a local boy and the area has been a Plaid stronghold for years.Conservative Janet Finch-Saunders says she is “quietly confident” and is “overwhelmed” by the postal votes.

A Plaid Cymru member confirmed that by looking at the postal votes only from afar, the Conservatives seemed to be in the lead.

Plaid Cymru officials are saying they are confident they have held on to Ynys Mon (Anglesey).

This is based on verification, as counting still hasn’t started.

The Welsh Conservatives take Vale of Clwyd from Labour.

Gareth Davies, an NHS physiotherapist, is the winner with 10,792 of the votes compared with Labour's 10,426.

The Conservatives took 41.4% of the vote, giving them a majority of 366.

It's a swing of 2.3% from Labour.

We have our second result of the day, as Labour hold Merthyr Tydfil & Rhymney, with Dawn Bowden re-elected.

It's a resounding victory too, with Labour's vote share increasing by 14.3% to take the seat with 61% of the vote.

Ms Bowden won 13,009 votes, with a majority of 9,311. The turnout was 35%.

Plaid Cymru were second on 3,698, the Welsh Tories came third with 2,665.

The Tories increased their share of the vote by 6.2%, while Plaid's vote share fell by 0.5%.

Two seats down. One hold each for Labour and the Tories.
