It looks like an exciting finish in East Londonderry with a recount underway.

It's understood that at one stage Gregory Campbell the sitting DUP MP since 2001 was believed to be 205 votes ahead of Kathleen McGurk, a Sinn Féin's councillor.

But some more votes in favour of McGurk were discovered during a partial recount.

Then it moved to a full recount. Before this election Gregory Campbell had a majority of 9,607.

It's unclear how long the recount will take.

Ian Paisley losing his seat in North Antrim is the political earthquake that no one saw coming.

For 54 years the seat has been a family dynasty, synonymous with the Paisley name - and the entire Democratic Unionist Party (DUP).

It was held by the DUP's founder Rev Ian Paisley since 1970 before his namesake son succeeded him in 2010.

But now it will be Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV) leader Jim Allister representing North Antrim in the House of Commons.

His alliance with Reform UK was looking shaky after its leader Nigel Farage personally endorsed Paisley.

But TUV objections to the DUP's deal to restore Stormont seem to have cut through, enabling Allister to overturn a DUP majority in the party's heartland.

For Allister, dismissed by the DUP as a "dead end unionist", this will be the sweetest of victories.

Conceding defeat, Ian Paisley says the "tides of life ebb and flow", but admits this was not the script he would have written for himself tonight.

He congratulates his successor and all other candidates in the race.

He says it was an honour of his life to serve the people of North Antrim and thanks everyone in his team for their support.

"The unionist people of North Antrim will not be taken for granted and not be taken for fools," Allister continues.

Allister says the electorate "knew better" this time around, which, he said, is why he is now the MP for the seat.

He paid tribute to Paisley, saying "that politics aside", losing an election is not easy - we are all human".

Jim Allister says there is "no escaping the fact there has been a political earthquake in North Antrim of seismic proportions".

"After 54 years of DUP and Ian Paisley dynasty, North Antrim has taken an alternative course," he adds.

He says his victory signals a number of things, but chief amongst those is a "very clear indication" that unionists in the constituency will not be taken for granted.

TUV leader Jim Allister tells Good Morning Ulster that it is the DUP's fault it is on the verge of losing North Antrim to him.

“I’m not going to carry the guilt for the DUP losing the confidence of their own voters and the unionist community," he says.

“It’s the DUP that has lost the confidence – they sowed that disconcerting confidence of unionists – the responsibility is on their shoulders and I certainly won’t be carrying it for them.”

We still have not got an official result from the constituency.

We've heard a full recount is now to take place in East Londonderry.

It is believed a bundle of Sinn Féin votes has been found.

It is not clear how many votes are in this bundle.

The DUP's Gregory Campbell is believed to be just a few hundred votes ahead of his Sinn Féin challenger.

The result isn't yet through in East Londonderry but the SDLP's Cara Hunter says she is "delighted" with how things have played out for her.

"I'm delighted with my outcome this morning with over 5,000 votes from my constituents," she said.

"The SDLP is a party committed to a brighter, shared future.

"This a vote increase since the 2022 election and I'm delighted to continue to deliver for my constituents in my role as an SDLP MLA."

In its 40-year history, just two people have been MP for Lagan Valley - both of whom were men. For the first time ever, the constituency will have a woman representing them.

Alliance's Sorcha Eastwood, who got within 6,499 votes of taking the seat in 2019, has the seat this time around.

It will also be the first time that a non-unionist will represent the constituency at Westminster.

Harris also says he looks forward to a "mutually beneficial and productive relationship between us."

Fermanagh and South Tyrone has witnessed some nail-biting results over the years.

In 2019 the seat was won by a mere 57 votes, while in 2010 the margin was only four.

So when it comes to this constituency, a Sinn Féin majority of more than 4,500 could be considered a landslide.

Switching candidates from Michelle Gildernew to Pat Cullen could have been a risk for the party, but voters have rallied behind the former nursing union chief.

Diana Armstrong finished second, although with a reduced vote share for the Ulster Unionist Party.

Whlie she was the only unionst candidate on the ticket, there had been disagreements within unionism over who the candidate should be.

A former Northern Ireland secretary has bitten the electoral dust.

Theresa Villiers, who had been Conservative MP for Chipping Barnet, has lost her seat to Labour.

His switch to South Antrim and decision to step down as Stormont health minister were bold moves for the UUP.

But the gamble has paid off with the UUP securing its first member of parliament in seven years.

It is a much-needed win for UUP leader Doug Beattie, as some party members had been questioning whether his "shrink to grow" strategy would ever enter the "grow" phase.

Michelle O'Neill says their party being the largest at both Stormont and at Westminster "means change".

"This speaks volumes that the change is happening - this place is changing," she says.

O'Neill says they will work collaboratively with the incoming Labour government and says the first question she will be asking is for a better funding model for NI.

There are whispers of a recount in East Londonderry, and O'Neill says the Sinn Féin candidate should not be ruled out just yet with only a couple of hundred votes separating her from the DUP's Gregory Campbell.

"That's the kind of campaign [Kathleen McGurk] has run. To even be that close is tremendous in itself," she says.

O'Neill also praises Foyle candidate Sandra Duffy for reducing the notional majority of the SDLP's candidate Colum Eastwood.

"It's a huge advancement... you haven't heard the last of Sandra Duffy," O'Neill says.

Deputy leader of Sinn Féin, Michelle O'Neill says her party has achieved a "tremendous result right across the board" and looks set to retain their seven seats.

She adds that other candidates are also still performing well in undeclared seats.
