We have two interviews with the winning candidates in Wrexham and Clwyd South, filmed just before 5am this morning.

Ken Skates, the new Assembly Member for Clwyd South, recounts to what made him ‘angry’ in the days leading up to the election, and how satisfied he was to beat the Conservatives locally.

We also spoke with Lesley Griffiths, the ‘new’ Assembly Member for Wrexham again just as day was breaking outside at the count itself. We ask about the North Wales ‘Metro’ delivery and Council Mergers.

(this video will auto skip to the interview in the recording of our count coverage)
