Шаблон:Use dmy dates The twelfth election to Cardiganshire County Council took place in March 1928. It was preceded by the 1925 election and followed by the 1931 election.

Candidates

After a period of bitter Liberal infighting in Cardiganshire politics in the early 1920s, a far less dramatic era ensued and in 1928 only ten seats were contested, the same number as three years earlier. This resulted in 40 members were returned without a contest.

Retiring aldermen

Eight aldermen retired, but only Meredith Gwarnant Williams (Llanwenog) stood as a candidate in the election.

Gains and losses

Very few seats changed hands.

Contested elections

Only ten seats were contested and these were not largely fought on political lines.

Outcome

Very little change took place as a result of an election in which only one sitting member lost his seat.

Results

Llanfair Clydogau

The seat was held in 1925 by Tom Davies (Conservative). Шаблон:Election box begin Шаблон:Election box winning candidate unopposed with party link Шаблон:Election box hold with party link Шаблон:Election box end

Election of Aldermen

Eight aldermen were elected, including the long-serving member, C.M. Williams, who had not faced the electorate for many years and two other retiring aldermen, Josiah T. Jones and Richard Evans who had last fought an election six years previously. Four new aldermen elected at the recent election were elevated while Dr John James had filled a vacancy following the death of J.T. Morgan some years previously. The only retiring alderman who had sought election (Meredith Gwarnant Williams) was not among those appointed for the next six years.

By-elections

Five by-elections were held following the election of aldermen. At Tregaron, Mary Lloyd became the first woman elected to Cardiganshire County Council when she was returned unopposed. Dr Evan Jones, who had unsuccessfully stood against Meredith Gwarnant Williams at Llanwenog, was returned unopposed at the by-election. Three wards were contested but no party allegiances were declared.
