[5] Future Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Wales, Robert Buckland, began his political career when he won the Elli county seat by only 3 votes in 1993.
[6] Conservative councillor John Jenkins won the Elli ward at the 2004 Carmarthenshire County Council election.
In February 2006 he was selected as the Conservative candidate for Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire in the 2007 Welsh Assembly election, but stood down after 24 hours because of homophobic remarks made in 2003.
He was elected again in 2012, but later that year was reported to the Ombudsman for inappropriate comments on Twitter.
