Sir Jeremy Wright has won a sixth straight election to be re-elected as Kenilworth's MP, but has seen his majority cut.
The Conservative former attorney general took 19,395 votes in Kenilworth and Southam, around 6,500 more than second-placed Cat Price (Labour).
Jenny Wilkinson received 10,464 votes for the Liberal Democrats.
Thoughts Kenilworth and Southam could slip out of Conservative control were quickly quashed with a BBC exit poll indicating there was a 97 per cent chance it would be held by the Tories.
But Sir Jeremy received around 10,000 fewer votes than in 2019 - almost the same number as votes are Reform UK's Jacqui Harris won.
Kenilworth and Southam results in full:
- Sir Jeremy Wright (Conservative) - 19,395
- Cat Price (Labour) - 12,821
- Jenny Wilkinson (Liberal Democrats) - 10,464
- Jacqui Harris (Reform UK) - 6,920
- Alix Dearing (Green) - 3,125
- Nick Blunderbuss Green (The Official Monster Raving Loony Party) - 442
- Paul De'ath (UKIP) - 153
There were 184 spoilt ballot papers and the turnout was 75.49 per cent.
