There were hugs of relief among Conservatives following Anthony Browne's victory in South Cambridgeshire.
He says the election campaign has been a "humbling experience".
Votes were as follows:
South Cambridgeshire has a new Conservative MP in Anthony Browne.
Heidi Allen was previously elected in 2017 while she was a member of the Conservative Party. She subsequently became an independent MP before joining the Lib Dems.
The Conservative candidate Jonathan Djanogly retains his seat.

Paul Bristow has said he'll start working on "cleaning up the city" just as soon as he checks his partner is not in labour.
The new Peterborough Conservative MP's second child is due today.
Paul Bristow has been elected as the MP for Peterborough, beating Labour's Lisa Forbes by 2,580 votes.
Mr Bristow's Conservative Party overturned a 607 vote majority to take the formerly Labour-held seat.
Labour won the seat in 2017 from the Conservatives, but MP Fiona Onasanya was removed following a recall petition after her conviction for lying about a speeding offence. Lisa Forbes held the seat for Labour in a subsequent by-election in June this year, but has now lost it.
Beki Sellick of the Liberal Democrats came third and the Brexit Party's Mike Greene came fourth.
Nearly 48,000 people, roughly two-thirds of those eligible to vote, went to polling stations across the area on Thursday, in the first December general election since 1923.
Six of the eight candidates lost their £500 deposits after failing to win 5% of the vote.
