Labour’s Police and Crime Commissioner Keith Hunter has been ousted by the late-entry Conservative candidate Jonathan Evison after two vote counts.
Mr Evison, currently Mayor of North Lincolnshire, beat Mr Hunter after winning 74,534 votes compared to the loser’s 71,615. The turnout was 22%.
He had been brought in as a last-minute replacement for Craig Ulliott who stood down “for personal reasons” after his previous work experience was questioned.
