The first elections to the Ceredigion County Council were held on 4 May 1995.[1] In the sense that the borders were identical, the election followed the 1991 election for Ceredigion District Council. It was followed by the 1999 election.
As was the case with the previous authority, the Independents were the largest group with a number of councillors elected unopposed
The boundaries were identical to those used since 1987 for elections to the previous Ceredigion District Council.
In addition to retiring members of the Ceredigion District Council a number of members of Dyfed County Council also sought election.
The sitting district councillor, elected as an Independent in 1991 but as an Alliance candidate in 1987 stood down. Rheinallt Evans, a county councillor since 1985, was defeated.
A by-election was held in the Aberaeron ward following the resignation of Independent councillor Wyn Lewis.
A by-election was held in the Llanfihangel Ystrad ward following the death of Liberal Democrat councillor Huw Lloyd-Williams.
