    Here's a quick recap:

    Labour looks set to fall just short of a majority in the Welsh Assembly as UKIP wins its first Senedd seats.

    Former Tory MPs Neil Hamilton and Mark Reckless are among six UKIP AMs elected via the regional lists, along with the party's Wales leader Nathan Gill.

    Labour will remain the largest party in Cardiff Bay, with an expected total of 29 of the 60 seats.

    But it suffered the shock loss of Leighton Andrews to Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood in Rhondda.

    While the Tories made gains in Gower and Vale of Clwyd in 2015, the party failed to capitalise on either in the assembly election.

    The four regional seats for South Wales Central are the only ones yet to be declared.
