of T.P. White to the aldermanic bench. White had moved from Cwmaman to Maesycymmer during the intervening period and did not seek re-election. Davies was again re-elected in 1895. He was opposed by Thomas Rees, landlord of the Swan Hotel, Aberaman and elected a member of the Aberdare Urban District Council at the inaugural 1894 election. The Merthyr Times opined that there was no necessity for a contest, and that the unsuccessful candidate had wasted his time and money. The results for 1898 and 1901 are unavailable but by 1904, Luther Davies, a manager at the Aberaman Colliery had taken over as the county councillor for Aberaman. Davies was again re-elected unopposed in 1907 Despite the challenge of the Labour Party at district council level, including a significant impact at Aberaman (see below), labour did not challenge for the county seat in this period. Aberdare Urban District Council Aberaman was also an electoral ward of the Aberdare Urban District Council from its formation in 1894. Thomas Rees, landlord of the Swan Inn, Aberaman and a long-standing member of the Aberdare Local Board of Health prior to the formation of the district council, had run unsuccessfully for the county council the previous year but had been defeated by the sitting member, Thomas Davies of Abercwmboi. Hr narrowly held hid seat against another Liberal candidate. In 1899 there was a four-cornered contest. In 1900, Thomas Humphreys was again returned unopposed. In 1901, E.M. Hann was opposed by a Labour candidate. The 1902 election saw John Bucknell re-elected. In 1903 Thomas Humphreys was defeated, having been criticised for his lack of support for the working classes. The creation of a second seat in 1904 saw the return of Charles Stanton alongside E.M. Hann. The vicar of Aberaman was beaten into third place. On John Bucknell's retirement in 1905, the vicar made another attempt to win the seat but was defeated by a Labour candidate. 21st century Until 2022 the community of Aberaman had two wards, Aberaman North and Aberaman South for the purposes of Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council elections. Since 1995 it had been represented by Plaid Cymru and Labour councillors. A 2018 review of electoral arrangements by the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales would see North and South merged to recreate a single county borough ward of Aberaman. The proposals would take effect from the 2022 council elections.
