Local AM Christine Gwyther has retained her seat in the Welsh Assembly, but Thursday's election was a close run battle.
Representing the Labour Party, Christine, who served in the first cabinet as agriculture and rural development secretary, topped the poll in the Carmarthen West and Pembrokeshire South constituency with 8,384 votes.
Her closest challenger was Plaid Cymru's Llyr Hughes Griffiths, who put up a strong fight as he polled 7,869 votes, just 515 less than Ms Gwyther, who has been chairman of the Assembly's economic development committee.
David N. Thomas, of the Welsh Conservatives, gained 4,917 votes in the election, which saw a turnout of 43 per cent.
Pembrokeshire County Councillor and Pembrokeshire Coast National Park member, Mary Megarry, of the Liberal Democrats, meanwhile, took 2,222 votes in the five-way contest, while Independent candidate, Arthur Williams, of Saundersfoot, received 580.
In the second ballot, the four candidates elected to represent the Mid and West Wales region in the proportional representation vote were Nick Bourne, leader of the Welsh Conservatives and Conservative party members, Glyn Davies and Elizabeth Ann Francis, together with Helen Mary Jones, of Plaid Cymru.
It was a double success for Labour locally as the party also held on to the Preseli Pembrokeshire seat, with Tamsin Dunwood-Kneafsey being the clear choice of the electorate, taking 8,067 votes.
Paul Davies, of the Welsh Conservatives, scooped 6,741 votes, Plaid Cymru's Sion Jobbins netted 5,227, while Michael Warden, of the Liberal Democrats, took 2,799.
