to request that
@SeneddWales
is recalled on 6 August to formally nominate
@Eluned_Morgan
as the new First Minister.
Here are what the results look like when put into our Deryn Seat Projector.
Labour retakes Bridgend and Delyn from the Conservatives, and Plaid Cymru take Ynys Mon from the Conservatives.
And finally (unless there are more to come), we have YouGov's last MRP of the campaign
This shows a similar result to the other two in terms of the winners but shows Plaid Cymru, rather than Labour, picking up Caerfyrddin
This would mean:
Lab: 27 (+10)
Con: 0 (-12)
Plaid: 3
