S4C confirms general election coverage for Wales

Bethan Rhys Roberts S4C host:

“There is nothing quite like the excitement of election night…guessing what will happen, analysing the results, getting the reaction of the parties as the political map is put back together. I’m looking forward to hearing the views of the commentators, the politicians and the experts as the drama develops overnight and discussing how the result will affect our everyday lives.

“There will be plenty of chat, serious debate and light hearted discussion as we follow the election results from Wales and across the UK.”

S4C’s special election programmes start with on Monday June 10 with Y Byd yn ei Le at 8pm, with Catrin Haf Jones as she covers all the latest political debates and analysis.

Steffan Powell will chair the discussion on Pawb a’i Farn. There will be three special editions of the programme from north, south and mid Wales starting on Wednesday the 12th of June.

Rhodri Llywelyn, S4C host:

“The General Election announcement came as a surprise following all the speculation and we’ve already had early visits to Wales from the leaders of the main parties. The change to Welsh constituencies makes the outcome harder than usual to predict and I can’t wait to see the new political map take shape once the polling stations close.

“We’ll have plenty of guests in the studio overnight to discuss the results, and the most important question will be how will the result impact the lives of the people of Wales and beyond? S4C is the best place to keep across all the Election 2024 discussions and debates in Wales and the rest of the UK.

“We’ll follow every step of the campaign to No 10.”
