The Police and Crime Commissioner elections have now been concluded.

England and Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Elections 2016 Results

Conservative: 20 (+4)
Labour: 15 (+2)
Independent: 3 (-9)
Plaid Cymru: 2 (+2).

A good result for both Labour and the Conservatives and a bad result for the independent candidates. In terms of competition between the Conservatives and Labour, Labour gained 3 seats from the Conservatives and the Conservatives gained 1 seat from Labour. The Liberal Democrats did not contest any seat as they now regard Police and Crime Commissioners as a failed experiment.

Scotland and Northern Ireland do not have this post and as such do not hold these elections.
