FULL STATEMENT: Jonathon Seed confirms he s pulled out of crime commissioner race JONATHON Seed has confirmed he has withdrawn from the race to become Wiltshire s Police and Crime Commissioner. It follows reports that the Conservative Party HQ told him he would be disbarred from the position if he were elected on Monday, due to a conviction for drink driving. The conviction for an imprisonable offence would automatically disqualify him from the role. In a statement, Mr Seed claimed he had declared the 30 year old driving conviction to the party in his applications for the role. The Conservative Party is yet to comment.
