Rachel Reeves was elected as MP for the new constituency of Leeds West and Pudsey to huge whoops from a crowd of Labour supporters.
It is a historical moment as she is expected to become the country’s first female chancellor of the exchequer.
However, she was quick to point out in her first interview of the night with the BBC that she didn’t want to pre-empt who Sir Keir Starmer appointed to his cabinet.
The result from Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley, the seat previously held by Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, is due soon.
Ms Cooper arrives at the count amid applause from a crowd of Labour supporters.
Leeds South West and Morley is due to be announced in the next 20 minutes.
The Conservative candidate Andrea Jenkyns, who beat Ed Balls in the 2015 general election, is not yet at the count.
Jon Trickett, the Labour candidate for Normanton and Hemsworth, describes turnout in the seat as “poor”.
“My concern is that a large number of people haven’t voted,” he says.
“It’s a lack of faith in the direction the country's taken. We need to go away and think about that.
“It’s a lesson that we’ve to learn - and it’s important that we do.”
