Labour has beaten the Conservatives in the run-off for South Wales Police and Crime Commissioner.

This will be the third term of Police and Crime Commissioner for Alun Michael, who has held the position for South Wales Police since the role’s inception in 2012.

Mr Michael was the Labour MP for Cardiff South and Penarth for 25 years from 1987, before he stepped down to stand in the Police and Crime Commissioner election in South Wales.

Mr Michael beat Conservative Steve Gallagher in the run-off vote after all other candidates were eliminated according to Police and Crime Commissioner voting rules.

Unless a candidate gets at least 50% of votes, the system of voting for Police and Crime Commissioner means that all but the top two candidates are eliminated, and secondary votes on ballot papers for eliminated candidates are then counted instead.
