Speaking following the results of the 2016 National Assembly for Wales election, Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies said:
“I am proud that we have fought a positive and engaging campaign, with excellent candidates across the country. Furthermore, along with my colleague and friend David Melding, it is a huge privilege to be elected to serve the people of South Wales Central once again.
“In this new era of five-party politics, we have strengthened winning positions in many held seats.
“Obviously, we are disappointed to lose some regional list seats in this election, and I pay tribute to those outgoing Members who have represented their areas with distinction and pride.
“We have enjoyed some strong results across the country, showing clear momentum in seats we have never won at an Assembly level. In Wrexham, Vale of Glamorgan, Gower and Vale of Clwyd, we have cut Labour majorities significantly with noteworthy swings towards the Welsh Conservatives.
“As we analyse the impact of the results on Wales, Welsh Conservatives remain steadfastly committed to delivering for communities across the country.”
