Labour's Jane Kennedy has been re-elected as Merseyside Police and Crime Commissioner.

She polled 186,661 of the votes in the first round of counting, ahead of the Conservative David Burgess- Joyce who totalled 54,000.

As she had secured more than 50% of the vote initially, there was no need for a second count.

In total, Ms Kennedy had secured 61.76% of the vote.

She said she looked forward to working "with all of the communities of Merseyside to make sure we maintain a safe and happy place to live and work."
