The election was characterised by a resurgence for the Labour Party, whilst Plaid Cymru saw a reduction in support and the number of Assembly Members they returned. Having won thirty seats, one short of a majority, Labour chose to govern in minority without a coalition partner.McCallister, L. (2004) Steady State or Second Order? The 2003 National Assembly Elections for Wales, Political Quarterly, p. 65 This election also saw the return of John Marek as an independent member of the Assembly. Of the 60 members elected, 30 were male and 30 were female. It was held on the same day as the 2003 Scottish Parliament election and 2003 United Kingdom local elections.
