The MP who represents Colwyn Bay has been voted back into power as a wave of Conservative support hit many parts of the country and destroyed much of the Labour Party support in North East Wales.

David Jones, who originally said at the start the year that he was going to stand down to spend time with his family has been re-elected as the MP for Clwyd West, with an increased majority.

He beat Labour's Jo Thomas by 6,747 votes, 3,310 more votes than the majority at the 2017 election.

Plaid Cymru's Elfed Williams came third and Liberal Democrat David Wilkins came fourth.

Robin Millar has won in Aberconwy, meaning that the Conservative Party holds the seat with an increased majority.

The new MP beat Labour's Emily Owen by 2,034 votes. This was considerably more than Guto Bebb’s 635 vote majority in the 2017 general election.

Lisa Goodier of Plaid Cymru came third and Liberal Democrat Jason Edwards came fourth.
