Political Reporter, BBC Radio KentCanterbury has been the story of the night in Kent.
It’s a seat that has been Conservative Sir Julian Brazier's since 1987, with the party holding it for the past 100 years.
But it seems a surge in young voters may have tipped it to Labour – just.
It’s a very slim win and took a recount to confirm it.
The new Labour MP Rosie Duffield has a majority of just 187 votes.
She'll have a lot to learn as Kent’s only Labour MP.

The rest of Kent has stayed blue, including the most marginal seat South Thanet.
It's also where the Conservative Craig Mackinlay has been charged with alleged overspending on his expenses at the last general election.

In all of Kent's seats Labour has come second, leaving UKIP and the Liberal Democrats to fight for third, fourth or last place.
Despite a difficult night for the Conservatives the party has increased it's share of the vote in all but one seat in Kent.
But it's clear we're back in a two-party system.

BBC Surrey political reporterOn the surface, you might say it is business as usual.
All of Surrey’s 11 seats have been declared, cementing the county’s reputation for being a Conservative heartland.
But the other parties have managed to cut down the size of those huge majorities and in some cases have even decreased the Tory share of the vote.

It has been a particularly good night for Labour, with candidates coming second in eight constituencies.
In most seats the Liberal Democrats did see their share of the vote increase after their collapse in 2015.
In South West Surrey, it was the National Health Action Party candidate, Dr Louise Irvine, who pushed Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, the hardest. His majority was cut by 6966 votes as she came second.

Did TV debate save Rudd?published at 06:06 British Summer Time 9 June 2017

BBC Local LiveSome big names are out of parliament - Alex Salmond and Nick Clegg lost their seats.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd did manage to hold on as MP of Hastings.
Image source, EPAMark Stuart is a senior tutor in politics at the University of Nottingham, he said: "Amber Rudd lost her father recently, what courage to go through this whole process to appear live on television.
"I think probably that TV debate when she stood in for the Prime Minister saved her seat."
