Labour have been dominant in Caerphilly for over 100 years. Last week they lost their seat to Plaid Cymru in the Caerphilly by-election.
Harry Clarke-Ezzidio was at the count, and spoke to the Labour, Plaid and Reform candidates to understand how they view the result.
He also took to the streets to speak to the people of Caerphilly – many of whom feel abandoned by Labour.
Did Labour complacency lead to their historic downfall? Or was the threat of Reform enough to turn out tactical voters in favour of Plaid Cyrmu?
Video by Rob Le Mare.
