Lady Victoria Borwick – a Conservative who was deputy mayor of London 2012-2015 – won the seat in the 2015 election and ran again this year to try and retain it.

The vote count in Kensington has been stopped suddenly and will resume again later today or tomorrow.

There is currently no result for this constituency – which looks set to have a third recount.

It looks as though Lady Borwick will lose to her Labour rival Emma Dent Coad, reports Get West London.

The Conservatives currently face a minority or coalition government because they cannot win a majority of seats.

Returning officer Tony Redpath said the delay is to let counters rest after becoming "visibly tired".

Mr Redpath said: "The provisional result of the election was known at approximately 2am.

“That result was very close and a recount was therefore requested.

"A request for a third count was therefore made."

“At this stage staff had been up all night and were becoming visibly tired.

“In order to have confidence in its accuracy, the recount has been suspended to allow staff to rest and recuperate.”
