First Minister Eluned Morgan tops Labourâs Senedd candidate list for Ceredigion Penfro
Under Labourâs rules, incumbent Members of the Senedd are automatically placed at the top of their constituency lists. Morgan has represented Mid and West Wales on the regional list since 2016 and became First Minister in 2024, having previously served as Health Minister and International Relations Minister.
Just two of Labourâs candidates on the Ceredigion Penfro list have direct links to the area. Marc Tierney, Morganâs current office manager, is a county councillor for Narberth Urban and Cabinet Member for Young People, Communities and the Wellbeing of Future Generations. Joshua Phillips, a local activist, chairs Welsh Labourâs Solva & St Davids Branch, is vice chair of Solva Community Council, and is founder of the Edge Festival as well as director of Solva Gin.
Other names on the list include Margaret Greenaway, Swanseaâbased President of The Open University Studentsâ Association; Tansaim HussainâGul, a Cardiffâborn British Gas worker and trade union activist; Luke DaviesâJones, a chartered accountant and Unite union member born in Swansea and now living in Cardiff; and Peter Huw Jenkins, a county councillor for Llandaff on Cardiff City Council.

New constituency and projections
Ceredigion Penfro is one of the new multiâmember constituencies created under Senedd reforms, combining parts of Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire. Each of the new constituencies will elect six Members of the Senedd using proportional representation, replacing the old mix of constituency and regional seats.
Polling averages suggest Labour could secure around two seats in Ceredigion Penfro, with Plaid Cymru expected to perform strongly in the area and Reform UK also polling competitively. That would give Labour a foothold in a constituency where Plaid has historically dominated, but where Pembrokeshireâs Labour vote could now play a bigger role under the new boundaries.
