| Description |
BBC Constituency Profile:
Carmarthen East and Dinefwr was created in 1997 from the old Carmarthen constituency once represented by Plaid Cymru's first MP Gwynfor Evans and Megan Lloyd George.
The seat consists of four valleys: the Teifi and Tywi to the north, where agriculture remains a major industry; and the post-industrial Gwendraeth and Amman valleys to the south. The Prince of Wales's Welsh home, Llwynywermod, is near the village of Myddfai, Llandovery.At the time of the 2001 Census, more than half the population said they could speak, read or write Welsh.
Plaid Cymru have held the seat since 2001. At the last election, Jonathan Edwards succeeded the retiring Adam Price (for whom he once worked), holding the seat with a reduced majority of 3,481 votes. Mr Edwards is a former Carmarthen councillor, once holding the historical post of town sheriff.
