Conservatives win Norwich North, Liberal Democrats hold third (but not by much)

1.00.00pm BST (GMT +0100) Fri 24th Jul 2009

Unsurprisingly the Conservatives gained Norwich North in yesterday's Parliamentary by-election, though not by as much as they would have hoped. Labour slumped, the Liberal Democrats just held third over UKIP and the Greens came fifth - which will have been disappointing for them.

The full result was:

Chloe Smith - Conservative - 13,591 (39.5%)

Chris Ostrowski - Labour - 6,243 (18.16%)

April Pond - Liberal Democrat - 4,803 (13.97%)

Glenn Tingle - UKIP - 4,068 (11.83%)

Rupert Read - Green - 3,350 (9.74%)

Craig Murray - Ind - 953 (2.77%)

Robert West - BNP - 941 (2.74%)

Bill Holden - Ind - 166 (0.48)

Howling Laud - Loony - 144 (0.42%)

Anne Fryatt - NOTA - 59 (0.17%)

Thomas Burridge - Libertarian - 36 (0.1%)

Peter Baggs - Ind - 23 (0.07%)

Con majority 7,348 (21.37%) 16.49% swing Labour to Conservative

Turnout 34,377 (45.76%, down 15.33% on gen election)
