Turnout in Yorkshire in 2024's general election fell 10% compared to turnout in 2019. It was 55% compared to 65% in 2019. This was the lowest turnout for a general election recorded in the last 80 years.

Labour’s vote share in this election in our region was 42%, while the party polled 40% in 2019.

In terms of vote share, Labour did better in 2017 when led by Jeremy Corbyn when they polled 50% of vote share. These were the seats that Labour took from the Conservatives. York Outer in these Labour gains saw the biggest increase in vote share for the party at 15%.

Conservative vote share in the region was 23% - the lowest vote share recorded for the party since Winston Churchill was leader in 1950. However, the party did retain more seats than expected when compared to the MRP polling.

The main bright spot for the Conservatives was Robbie Moore in Keighley and Ilkley, who secured 40% of the vote in his constituency. These are Conservative holds.

Despite the exit poll predicting major gains for Reform UK, the party won no seats in Yorkshire. Vote share for the party was 16% across the region. It came second in 10 seats, polling best in Barnsley South at 33%.

The Greens had a fantastic night, coming second in six constituencies across the region and achieving 8% vote share in Yorkshire - their best ever result. They out-polled the Lib Dems who achieved 7% vote share.

The Lib Dems achieved their aim of winning Harrogate and Knaresborough, but fell well short of winning Sheffield Hallam, which was a target for the party.

The Independent candidate who won in Dewsbury was the surprise of the night. Iqbal Mohamed won 41% of the vote compared to Labour who achieved 22.9% of the vote. This is the first time an Independent candidate has won a seat in a general election in Yorkshire since 1907.

It was a good night for Independent candidates across Yorkshire. In 2019 Independent candidates polled 9,360 votes, but in 2024 they polled a combined total of 59,131 of votes.

Independent candidate Iqbal Mohamed has been elected as the new MP for Dewsbury and Batley, securing 15,641 votes, leaving Labour's Heather Iqbal in second place with just 8,707 votes.

Mr Mohamed tells the BBC after his victory was announced: "As a local boy who has grown up in the town, it's absolutely humbling, it's still sinking in."

Quizzed on why he thinks he won, Mr Mohamed says people he spoke to were "very concerned" about the conflict in Gaza and considered it a "grave injustice".

Beyond that, constituents seem to be disillusioned with the two main parties, he says.

"We've had Labour locally for many years, running the council, and the Tories nationally. In that time, the towns have just gone backwards and people felt neglected."

Mr Mohamed says as a new MP, he will seek to "work with the community" and collaborate with all of his constituents.

Harpreet Uppal, who has been elected as the Labour MP for Huddersfield, says she believes people voted for Labour after recognising the party had changed.

"I think people have looked at Keir Starmer and they see a serious prime minister," she says.

"The last 14 years have been absolutely chaotic, particularly the last two or three years post-Covid.

"I think people wanted a bit of stability, some change."

The chairs and tables are folded and ballot boxes stacked up in the marquee outside Halifax Minister.

Prior to the declarations, the atmosphere of the tent was one of nervous excitement for the Labour Party and of resolute disappointment for the Conservative party.

The night saw a Labour hold for Halifax, electing new MP Kate Dearden (pictured), who ran for the election following the stepping down of Holly Lynch.

Following the win, she says her priority is “making sure Halifax gets its fair share”.

The "bellwether" seat of Calder Valley lives up to its name, seeing a large majority gain for Labour’s Josh Fenton Glynn.

Mr Fenton Glynn has stood in the past three elections, losing to former Conservative MP Craig Whittaker who announced he would not stand for re-election in May of last year.

In his acceptance speech, Mr Fenton-Glynn thanked the Labour Party for its continual support and also congratulated the Conservative candidate on her campaign.

Conservative Alec Shelbrooke wins in new seat Wetherby and Easingwold - which was previously Elmet and Rothwell.

He wins 20,597 votes and is followed by Labour's Ben Pickles, who wins 15,751.

Leeds is now almost completely represented by Labour MPs.

The first results of the night, and perhaps the biggest cheer, was reserved for Leeds West and Pudsey MP Rachel Reeves, who is on course to be the first female Chancellor of the Exchequer.

She told me if she was appointed by Sir Keir Starmer it would be the “privilege of my life”.

Meanwhile, two new faces become MPs for the first time.

First there is Mark Sewards (pictured), who took the Leeds South and Morley seat from Conservative Andrea Jenkyns.

His wife Alice is due to give birth in two weeks’ time, so he'll be hoping for some rest after the gruelling campaign trail.

Meanwhile, Katie White is now the Leeds North West MP - and only the third Labour woman to represent Leeds at Westminster.

Hilary Benn, Alec Sobel, Richard Burgon and Fabian Hamilton are already familiar faces in the House of Commons, retaking their seats, albeit with new boundaries.

Labour wins Normanton and Hemsworth with an increased majority of 6,662.

Jon Trickett, who has been an MP since 1996, defeats second-place Reform UK.

Mr Trickett was Parliamentary Private Secretary to Prime Minister Gordon Brown between 2008 and 2010.

Labour's Paul Davis has ousted Conservative Jason McCartney after receiving 18,970 votes, to secure a 4,963 majority over his political rival.

Labour retains Huddersfield with a reduced majority of 4,533.

Harpreet Uppal wins ahead of the Green Party in second place, with a 37.6% share of the vote.

Mr Uppal succeeds Barry Sheerman, who was the constituency's MP since 1979.

Labour’s Kim Leadbeater wins Spen Valley from the Conservatives with a 6,188 majority.

Ms Leadbeater first became the party’s candidate for the seat after West Yorkshire mayor Tracy Brabin stood down in 2021, triggering a by-election.

The sister of murdered Batley and Spen MP Jo Cox, Ms Leadbeater won that election by just 323 votes.

Ms Leadbeater says: “We have been entrusted with the huge responsibility of putting this country back on its feet again.

“We undoubtedly face challenges, but if we face those challenges together we can give Britain its future back.”

Katie White wins Leeds North West for Labour with a majority of 11,896 over the Conservatives in second place.

Labour’s Simon Lightwood, who won the Wakefield by-election in 2022, wins the new constituency of Wakefield and Rothwell.

Labour's Josh Fenton-Glynn wins Calder Valley from the Conservatives.

Craig Whittaker had been the constituency's MP since 2010.

Labour candidate Fabian Hamilton (pictured centre) keeps his seat with a 16,083 majority.

Independent Iqbal Mohamed wins Dewsbury and Batley with 15,641 votes.

Mr Mohamed cites the Israel-Gaza conflict in his victory speech.

Richard Burgon, who has been the MP for Leeds East since 2015, wins with an increased majority of 11,265.

Labour's Jade Botterill defeats Mark Eastwood in the Ossett and Denby Dale seat.

Mr Eastwood had been Conservative MP for Dewsbury since 2019.
