Labour has held on to power after winning half of the available seats in the Welsh Parliament election.
The party won 30 of the 60 available seats, beating the Conservatives, with 16, Plaid Cymru on 13 and the Liberal Democrats, one.
Labour has been in power in Wales, either in coalition or as a minority, for the past 22 years.
Mark Drakeford, the party leader, has said the next Welsh government would be "radical" and "ambitious".
Labour did fall one seat short of the 31 needed for an outright majority, but this is a feat no party has ever achieved in the history of the Welsh Parliament.
Fifty-two of the 60 Senedd seats were declared on Friday, with two final regional lists giving results on Saturday.
Both the South Wales East and South Wales Central constituencies returned two Welsh Conservative and two Plaid Cymru MSs.
In South Wales East, Delyth Jewell and Peredur Owen Griffiths were elected for Plaid, while Laura Anne Jones and Natasha Asghar will represent the region for the Welsh Conservatives.
In South Wales Central, the leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Andrew RT Davies, was one of the two Tories elected, along with Joel James.
Rhys ab Owen and Heledd Fychan will represent Plaid Cymru in the region.
