Plaid Cymru remained the largest party on 5 May 2017, but fell short of an overall majority with 19 councillors.

After the election the Independents agreed to work with Plaid Cymru, as did the sole Labour councillor, creating a coalition.

He eventually resigned from his cabinet post and sat on the opposition benches with the Liberal Democrats; and lost his Aberporth seat in the 2017 election.

Two candidates were nominated for this ward, Neil Flower (Liberal Democrat) and James Wyn Reynolds Thomas (Plaid Cymru).
