🏴 STATE OF THE PARTIES AT 17:00:
We're three-quarters of the way through the declarations. Plaid Cymru will form the next government of Wales. They will probably be able to govern as a minority, but will need Labour's support to do so.
First Minister Eluned Morgan has lost her seat. This was somewhat expected, but still unprecedented.

Welsh First Minister Eluned Morgan loses her seat in the Senedd, resigns as Labour Leader.
Plaid Cymru wins three seats in this Ceredigion Penfro, Reform takes two and the Conservatives take one. Labour finished with just over half of the vote they would have needed to win any seats in this constituency.

Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth has been re-elected in Bangor Conwy Môn.
He'll be one of three Plaid MSs in this constituency, with Reform taking two seats and the Conservatives taking one. Labour has been shut out of this constituency entirely.

🏴 PROJECTION: PLAID CYMRU GOVERNMENT 🏴
With over half of seats declared, it's now certain that Plaid Cymru will be the largest party in the #Senedd.
Plaid and Labour look like they'll have a majority between them, meaning Labour could end up as the junior partner in a coalition government. Though it may also be possible for Plaid to govern as a minority.

🏴 STATE OF THE PARTIES AT 16:00:
Plaid Cymru is starting to open up a lead over all other parties.
The Labour vote has collapsed, though they may still find themselves as part of the next Welsh government (albeit as the junior partner).

Welsh Green leader Anthony Slaughter has taken one of the seats in Caerdydd Penarth.
Plaid Cymru has won three seats in this constituency, with Reform and Labour winning the other two.

🏴 STATE OF THE PARTIES AT 15:00:
One constituency declared so far, with Plaid Cymru and Reform currently leading.
There's no chance of any party winning an overall majority thanks to the new electoral system. Labour could still be in government, but as the junior coalition partner to Plaid Cymru.
-
First result from Wales.
Reform and Plaid Cymru take two seats each. Labour and the Conservatives take one each.
Welsh Reform leader Dan Thomas has won one of the seats here.

Polls in Scotland, Wales, and parts of England are now open. They will close at 22:00 BST.
Some councils will count overnight. Most will count tomorow, as will Scotland and Wales.
-
With less than a fortnight to go until the Senedd elections, the most likely outcome is going to be some kind of governing arrangement led by Plaid Cymru, supported by Labour.
The new electoral system was designed to make it harder for any one party to come close to a majority on its own. And it looks like it will do exactly that.
Oh, and the First Minister might lose her seat. Extraordinary under Party List PR.

#Wales will be getting a new electoral system for next year's #Senedd elections.
On the one hand, it will make it harder for a party to come close to winning a majority. On the other, it will make it harder for small and medium-sized parties to win any seats at all.
