Labour candidate becomes Derbyshire PCC

Hardyal Singh Dhindsa is taking over from former Labour PCC Alan Charles

Labour candidate Hardyal Singh Dhindsa has been elected as police and crime commissioner for Derbyshire.

He won the seat with 78,858 votes - his nearest rival was the Conservative candidate Richard Bright with 77,245 votes.

Derbyshire's previous PCC was Labour's Alan Charles, who decided not to stand for re-election, describing the workload as "full-on".

The overall turnout for the Derbyshire PCC election was 23.93%.

This was up from 14.75% in 2012.

Chris Doidge, BBC Radio Derby's political reporter, said: "Derbyshire's turnout in the PCC election was higher than Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire.

"This is not a great surprise, as there were other elections in Derbyshire."
