Welsh Labour are set to retain control of the Welsh Government, taking half of the seats on the second day of counting.

Labour have won 30 of the seats declared so far, with the Conservatives on 12, Plaid Cymru on nine and the Liberal Democrats on one.

First minister Mark Drakeford was re-elected to the Cardiff West constituency, winning nearly half of the votes.
