The Conservative Party needs to enter a "period of reflection" following the results of the exit poll, says Chris Carter-Chapman, the Conservative candidate for South Cambridgeshire.
He suggests an autumn election may have been more favourable for the party as it would have benefited from an improved economic situation in the country.

David Chalmers, the Liberal Democrat candidate for North East Cambridgeshire, says the party will be "ecstatic" if the exit poll - which predicts it will win 61 seats - is correct.
He added that it was always the aim of the Liberal Democrats “to be the third party” in this election.

All the ballot boxes have now arrived and the first votes are being counted in Ely and East Cambridgeshire.

Independent candidate Stephen Ferguson was one of the first candidates to arrive at the count for St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire.
He says he is really proud of his campaign after starting from scratch six weeks ago, and we are told his team have a stash of energy drinks to keep them going throughout the night.

Georgie Hunt, the Green Party parliamentary candidate for Huntingdon, says she has loved campaigning.
"We've been out and about on the road on our bikes, we've been to market days [and] hustings."
"It's been fantastic fun."
Yet Ms Hunt admitted it had been a "stretch" over the last six weeks.
"I don't think any campaign is ever comfortable, if you're doing it comfortably I don't think you're doing it properly."

Hoo-Ray Henry, the Monster Raving Looney candidate for Ely and East Cambridgeshire, says this is the first time the new constituency could be a two- or even a three-horse race.
Ryan Coogan, the constituency's candidate for Reform UK, believes this election is a game changer and is pleased to be in the race and give voters a real choice.
Andy Cogan, from the Green Party, says he is concerned it could be "1997 all over again".

The campaign "was long, hard and surprising", according to Huntingdon's Independent candidate Chan Abraham.
"I've discovered what it means to be a postman," he says.
Mr Abraham said that he and his wife used a spatula to post letters as a safety measure.
"When we retrieved [one] the next day there were fang marks in the spatula, and we realised that could've been our fingers."
The first ballot boxes have arrived at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford and the team here is working together like a well-oiled machine to transport the boxes from cars to a large hangar, where counting is now under way.

The election campaign has been exhausting and uncertain for the candidates.
Boundary changes mean the county, combined with Peterborough, will have eight MPs, one more than in the last Parliament.
In a county that has previously been a Conservative stronghold, there is a real chance the county could be multi-coloured by the morning.
Every vote matters and volunteers have been working right up to the last minute to secure as many votes as possible.
One Liberal Democrat canvasser, which I spoke to this week, said they believed some of the constituencies could be decided by a few hundred votes.
The new constituency of St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire will possibly be the most interesting to watch, with polls predicting a three-way marginal. With no voting history to compare it to, it has been really hard to predict any outcome.
It is a long and lengthy process to count the ballot papers. In a rural county such as Cambridgeshire, it can take a while for the ballot boxes to even arrive at the counting centre, which means many of our results will not be declared until well after sunrise.
If the polls are correct and some constituency results are close, then we may also see some recounts, which will add to the delay.
The number of people available to count and the physical space available can also affect how quickly the work gets done. Typically we see the counts that are overseen by Peterborough City Council (Peterborough and North West Cambridgeshire) declare first.
This is when the local councils have told us they expect to declare the results.
