Margaret Ferrier has been elected as the MP for Rutherglen & Hamilton West, beating Labour's Ged Killen by 5,230 votes.

The Scottish National Party overturned a 265 vote majority to take the formerly Labour-held seat.

Lynne Nailon of the Conservative Party came third and Liberal Democrat Mark McGeever came fourth.

Voter turnout was up by 3 percentage points since the last general election.

Nearly 54,000 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.

One of the five candidates, Janice Mackay (UKIP), lost her £500 deposit after failing to win 5% of the vote.
