Voters in a Welsh parliamentary seat will head to the polls on 1 August to elect a new lawmaker just over a week after Theresa May hands over to her successor, in an early test for the new prime minister, writes Costas Pitas.

Earlier this month, voters in Brecon and Radnorshire backed a petition to oust their Conservative lawmaker Chris Davies (pictured), who was convicted in March of falsifying two invoices.

On Thursday, the date of 1 August was set for the vote, known as a by-election.

Former foreign minister Boris Johnson and current foreign minister Jeremy Hunt are both vying to replace May.
