Joshua Kim who won for Reform in Blaenau Gwent Caerffili Rhymni missed the count because he was doing a shift as a supply teacher.
He told the BBC he was "shellshocked" and "did not think for one minute" he would be elected, appearing "distraught, utterly shocked and confused".

Reform UK's Joshua Kim is one of their Blaenau Gwent Caerffili Rhymni candidates for #Senedd.
He was born in South Korea, but seems to think it's time to pull up the draw bridge.

The corpse was that of Glyndwr Michael, a homeless man from Aberbargoed in Cwm Rhymni.
I think this maybe the most niché bit of trivia I’ve ever heard.

Labour not winning one single seat in the Blaenau Gwent Caerffili Rhymni constiuency says it all. That used to be where they weighed the Labour vote instead of counting it. There are other reasons for this collapse ofc but Starmerism is still the biggest reason.

Two early turnouts confirmed from Senedd constituencies:
Blaenau Gwent Caerffili Rhymni 47.7%
Casnewydd Islwyn 47.8%
Considering that these cover areas with some of the lowest turnouts in 2021, this suggests this could be the first Senedd election where turnout passes the 50% barrier. #Senedd26

Early Wales results look every bit as grim for Labour as the polling suggested - they've failed to take even one of the six PR seats available in two of the four seats declared so far, including Blaenau Gwent Caerffili Rhymni (which I think takes in Caerphilly where they lost the by-elec)
