The DUP’s Westminster leader Nigel Dodds has lost his seat in North Belfast to Sinn Féin’s John Finucane.

In what was a closely fought contest in the end, Sinn Féin took a majority of 1,943 votes.

For the first time, the SDLP agreed not to run a candidate in the constituency.

Mr Dodds had held the seat since 2001 and it had always been a unionist seat.

Mr Finucane said the result showed North Belfast “rejects Brexit”.

John Finucane has been elected as the MP for Belfast North, beating the DUP's Nigel Dodds by 1,943 votes.

Arriving at the Titanic count centre in Belfast, DUP leader Arlene Foster said she is "very disappointed" Nigel Dodds seems set to lose his seat, saying Northern Ireland is "losing such a great advocate".

"The demography just wasn’t there. We worked very hard to get the vote out this past five to six weeks. But the demography was against us," she said.

"Of course, the SDLP decided not to run, and that has shown that the pan-nationalist front has come to fruition again."

Alliance took some heat early on in the election campaign for not standing aside in certain seats as part of a pro Remain coalition. But the “no pacts” approach appears to have paid dividends, with the cross community party’s vote up overall and the ultimate prize of a Westminster seat, succeeding Sylvia Hermon in North Down.

The DUP had hoped a victory in North Down might balance out defeats elsewhere. At the time of writing, the DUP not only looks to have missed its number one target, but is also at real risk of losing two of its Belfast seats.

So a depressing election for the DUP, which has also lost its power-broker role at Westminster, now Boris Johnson is on course to get a majority.

In his acceptance speech, Stephen Farry underlined the need to get Stormont back – a message echoed by the DUP’s Alex Easton.

We may be on course to have three pro Remain MPs from Northern Ireland who take their seats in the Commons chamber – one Alliance and two SDLP. But the challenge they face will be how to make a difference?

They had hoped to “Stop Boris and Stop Brexit”, however that’s not going to happen. They will provide a voice, but to what end, given the Conservative victory?

Stephen Farry says he will do his best to “take the rough edges” off Brexit.

Whilst Sinn Féin may take a hit in Foyle, it looks like it is set to claim a major scalp in North Belfast, in the shape of the DUP deputy leader Nigel Dodds.

Given the clear indication that voters have completely lost patience with the Stormont stand off, will the DUP now refocus on power sharing and seal a deal with Sinn Féin?

Or will a wounded DUP leadership find it hard to sell a compromise over issues like the Irish language at a time when Downing Street is pressing full steam ahead with a form of Brexit so unpalatable to unionists?

Whether it’s Julian Smith or a new Northern Ireland secretary handling the forthcoming talks, the next few weeks could prove decisive.

Alliance leader Naomi Long has been reacting to a surge in support for her party.

Noting the UK-wide picture, she said Northern Ireland's parties had to "get back around the table together", so "we don’t end up as collateral damage in a Conservative Brexit".

She added there was "no ceiling" on her ambition for the Alliance Party.

"If we could have Alliance as the largest party in Northern Ireland, then I would be content that our job was done. Because I believe when Alliance is doing well, Northern Ireland is doing well," she said.
