Cardiff South and Penarth by-election
The by-election in Cardiff South and Penarth was called after the former MP, Alun Michael, was appointed to the office of Steward and Bailiff of the Three Hundreds of Chiltern - the means by which an MP disqualifies themselves in order to resign - so that he could stand as a candidate in the election of police and crime commissioners, also held on 15 November 2012.
