Alyn and Deeside General Election 2024 results in full
Voters in Alyn and Deeside have gone to the ballot box to elect their MP in the General Election 2024. And it was a resounding victory for Mark Tami, who was the only Labour MP to win a seat in North Wales at the 2019 General Election, when the Conservatives wiped out traditional Labour heartlands, on what was widely regarded as the Brexit election.
Mr Tami increased his extremely slim majority, of just over 213 last time round, polling 18,395, as the Tories faced a North Wales rout, in the face of a Labour onslaught.
The Alyn and Deeside seat had been expanded to include part of the Delyn constituency for the 2024 General Election. Delyn turned Conservative in 2019 and Rob Roberts represented it as an independent after losing the Conservative whip in 2021.
