Chris Evans has been elected MP in Caerphilly. He is a new MP as former Caerphilly Wayne David has retired.

Mr David had served as the area's MP for two decades since his election in 2001. Before that he had been an MEP. Labour had been the pollsters' favourite to win here and Evans is a former MP.

The boundaries of the Caerphilly seat have changed as part of the shakeup of constituencies in Wales that has seen the political map redrawn so that there are just 32 seats instead of 40. Using figures from electoral calculus, we can see how this constituency is changing. It is 90.8% of the existing Caerphilly patch and 24.6% of Islwyn.

Result:

Steve Aicheler (Lib Dem) - 1,788 Chris Evans (Labour) - 14,538 Brandon Gorman (Conservatives) - 4,385 Joshua Seungkyun Kim (Reform UK) - 7,754 Mark Thomas (Green Party) - 1,650 Lindsay Geoffrey Whittle (Plaid Cymru) - 8,119
