All the votes have now been counted, and also the 60 People in the Senedd who'll represent Wales within the Welsh Parliament have finally been announced.

Thirty of them are members of the Labour group which is the most powerful force for the next 5 years and from whom First Minister Mark Drakeford will chose the next cabinet. One of them can also be likely to succeed him if he, as he has planned, stands down at some point in the next five years.
