Jeff Cuthbert has been re-elected as Gwent\'s Police and Crime Commissioner
LABOUR'S Jeff Cuthbert has been re-elected for a second term as Gwent’s Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC).
Mr Cuthbert’s win was announced following the count for second preference results, after no candidate had a majority in the first round.
Among first preference votes, Mr Cuthbert received 75,775 – or 41.7 per cent. While it was more than 20,000 ahead of second place Hannah Jarvis of the Conservative Party, it was more than eight per cent shy of the 50 per cent need to win re-election.
After the first round, all but the top two – Mr Cuthbert and Ms Jarvis – were eliminated.
