Chris Davies has been ousted as an MP by his constituents.

One in five voters in Brecon and Radnorshire signed a petition demanding an election to choose a new MP.

He is only the first MP in Wales and the third ever to face a "recall petition" - a formal process through which voters get to choose if an MP convicted of an offence stays in office.

It comes after the Conservative, who represents Brecon and Radnorshire, admitted that he had submitted two false expenses invoices and was convicted of a criminal offence.

The petition was open for the public to sign since since May 9.

More than 10,000 people signed the petition - 19% of the electorate in the constituency.

That is nearly twice as many as needed to sign the petition (10%) for a by-election to be held.

Davies' sacking by voters follows the successful recall petition in Peterborough earlier this year when then Labour MP Fiona Onasanya was convicted of perverting the course of justice and jailed.
