Written by HFM News on 8th May 2021
Leicestershire’s new Police and Crime Commissioner is Conservative Rupert Matthews.
He won the election with a majority of over 33,000, taking back the commissioner’s office from Labour, which had held it since 2016.
Although voters went to the polls on Thursday, the count didn’t take place until today.
The turnout in the Harborough District was 38% – the highest in the county.
The result of the ballot in Northamptonshire will be announced on Monday.
