ITV News Anglia political correspondent Emma Hutchinson explains what the race to succeed Nadine Dorries means.
For the residents of Mid Bedfordshire, it may feel like the longest by-election battle in history - a contest that effectively began when Nadine Dorries announced her plan to quit more than four long months ago.This has always been a safe Tory seat, held by the Conservatives at every election since 1931.Labour say they are are thrilled with this result , saying they had hardly dared to dream of winning in Mid-Bedfordshire.
By-elections, of course, are different: a lower turnout, voters staying at home, or changing their vote as a protest against the government or a single issue.In Mid Bedfordshire the behaviour of the previous MP did not go unnoticed. Nadine Dorries announced she was quitting with immediate effect on 9 June, but did not officially hand her resignation in until the end of August.
