Police investigation launched after ineligible candidate wins police and crime commissioner election
A police investigation has been launched after an ineligible candidate won a police and crime commissioner election.
The Wiltshire force said it handed over the investigation "to ensure independent oversight and to remove any potential conflict of interest". Returning officer Terence Herbert said: "Given this unprecedented situation and given the circumstances, I will be seeking legal advice on the next steps and at that point I will be able to make any statements necessary about the position."
A Conservative Party spokesperson said Mr Seed, who had been hoping to take over from departing Conservative colleague Angus Macpherson, had been "disbarred" after a driving offence had "come to light".- insisted he had declared his 30-year-old driving conviction to the party in his application for the role.
