ABERGWILI: Independent czarina Pam Palmer (600) held off a heroic effort by Plaid's retired consultant paediatrican Dewi Evans (436), but with a greatly reduced majority.
AMMANFORD: Labour's wafer thin 6 vote majority was overturned; Plaid's Deian Harries (480) snaffling this one from Chris Jones (455).
BETWS: A three-way marginal last time around. Independent Eira Jones (274, the exact same vote as 2008) yielded the seat to retired Maths teacher, Ryan Bartlett (Labour, 325). Plaid lost ground to finish 3rd (155).
BIGYN: A double Labour gain from Plaid Cymru: Eryl Morgan (609) and Jeff Edmunds (565) trumping outging councillors Mike Burns (523) and Dyfrig Thomas (518).
BURRY PORT: Independent Stephen James (622), who topped the 2008 was ousted by Labour's Jack James (634). First place went to veteran Labour cabinet member Pat Jones (741).
BYNEA: A shock defeat for Independent cabinet member Gwynne Wooldrige (328) to Labour's Deryk Cundy (440). Turnout, though, was below 24%.
CARMARTHEN TOWN NORTH: Plus ça change: Plaid group leader Peter Hughes Griffiths (824) and Gareth Owen Jones (657) both re-elected, but the turnout here fell from over 44% to below 39%.
CARMARTHEN TOWN SOUTH: All change here, though: sitting member Steve Dunn (Independent, 285) lost his seat, whilst Plaid have two brand new councillors in former press and broadcast reporter Alun Lenny (454) and Jeffrey Thomas (441). New Independent candidate Jenny Fox (398) came a creditable 3rd.
CARMARTHEN TOWN WEST: Plaid's sweep of the county town was completed as Alan Speake (888) was re-elected, with Tom Defis (658) as his junior. Arthur Davies (512), one half of the People First duo, was dumped by the electors.
CENARTH: A triumph for Plaid's 2010 by-election winner Hazel Evans (670). A lacklustre campaign by Tory Henrietta Hensher (97) augers badly for future Conservative chances.
CILYCWM: Wily Independent committee chair Tom Theophilus (307) evaded ejection from blogger and transparency campaigner Jacqui Thompson (264) and another Tory (136).
CYNWYL ELFED: A tight contest here gave victory to Independent Irfon Jones (678) over Plaid Cymru's Glyn Evans (631).
CYNWYL GAEO: Eirwyn Williams (520) of Plaid Cymru was unopposed in 2008, and may as well have been in 2012, too. The Tory garnered 117 votes.
DAFEN: Tegwen Davichand (513) significantly increased her majority for Labour over plaid Cymru's Mohammad Choudry (178).
ELLI: The only contest here was for second place between Plaid (203) and Labour (192). The Independent John Jenkins (503), meanwhile, was comfortably returned for another term.
FELINFOEL: Hugh Richards (258) was given another term as an Independent councillor, but Labour's Henry John Evans (215) took a big chunk out of his majority.
GARNANT: Labour Deputy-Leader Kevin Madge (590) swept back to Carmarthen gaol on an increased majority over Plaid's Emyr Williams (149).
GLANAMMAN: At the other end of Heol Cwmaman, Plaid got the honours as David Jenkins (478) gained a comfortable win over Labour twitterer and temporary resident Shahid Hussain (248).
GLANYMOR: Plaid Cymru's Winston Lemon (571) topped the poll again, but 2008's second councillor John Jones (Independent, 298) was pushed into 5th place. Labour's Louvain Roberts (520) captured the 2nd seat, with her comrade Joanne Yeo (485) in 3rd.
GLYN: No doubt here; an Independent hold for Jim Jones (520) incresing his majority over Labour (126) and a Tory (97).
GORSLAS: When the dust settled here, Labour top dog Terry Davies (850) remained at number 1, but the old Independent seat vacated by Clive Scourfield was nabbed by Plaid's Darren Price (762). Ex-rugby bruiser and Scourfield's hier apparent Rupert Moon (508) had to be content with 3rd.
HENDY: Another shocker as Labour's sitting member Steve Lloyd-Janes (411) yielded a 229 vote majority as he lost to Plaid's Gareth Beynon Thomas (422).
HENGOED: The early reckoning had People First's Sian Caiach (337) losing her seat. She's back in the council as her party's sole member, though. Labour's George Edwards (338) topped the poll by a single vote, gaining a seat over Plaid's top placed candidate Mike Evans (315). Only 85 votes separated the top 5 candidates in this tight contest.
KIDWELLY: An easy victory for Labour's re-elected councillor Keith Davies (571). His nearest rival was Independent Fran Burke-Lloyd (238).
LAUGHARNE TOWNSHIP: Jane Tremlett (714) maintained her iron Independent grip on this seat over Labour's Jean Myers (228).
AMMANFORD: Labour's wafer thin 6 vote majority was overturned; Plaid's Deian Harries (480) snaffling this one from Chris Jones (455).
