    Welsh political leaders

    Labour is set to stay in power in Wales after matching its best-ever Senedd election result, with exactly half of the 60 seats in the Welsh Parliament.

    The Tories took the Vale of Clwyd from Labour, and Brecon and Radnorshire from the Liberal Democrats.

    Labour held firm in other Tory target seats and took Rhondda back from Plaid Cymru.

    With 52 of the 60 seats declared, Labour is on 30 with the Conservatives on 12, Plaid Cymru nine and the Liberal Democrats one.

    Votes for the regional lists in South Wales Central and South Wales East are being counted on Saturday.

  2. Good morning

    Welcome to our live coverage of today's conclusion of the Welsh Parliament/Senedd election results.

    With 52 of the 60 seats declared on Friday, Labour is on 30 with the Conservatives on 12, Plaid Cymru nine and the Liberal Democrats one.

    It is unlikely Labour will gain further seats when votes for the two remaining regional lists in South Wales Central and South Wales East are counted on Saturday.

    That's because the party has already won the lion's share of constituency seats there.

    On Sunday, counts will take place for four police and crime commissioners in Wales.

    Stay with us for the remaining results and all the reaction.
