3:03Now PlayingPlaid Cymru have won the by-election in the Senedd seat of Caerphilly for the first time, with the winning candidate crying as the result was announced.
Lindsay Whittle, who is 72 years old and has stood as a Plaid candidate 13 times, secured 15,960 votes, and he will now hold the seat until the Senedd elections next year, where his party will be hoping to build on this success.
The contest in Caerphilly was widely regarded as a two-horse race between Plaid Cymru and Reform UK, and the result marks a considerable blow for Nigel Farage - as well as signalling a weakening of Labour's grip on power in Wales.
