Labour's Rosena Allin-Khan has been elected as MP for Tooting.

Dr Allin-Khan increased Labour's majority to 6,357 over the Conservatives, up from the 2,842 secured by her predecessor Sadiq Khan in the general election last year.

In a sombre statement following her victory at Wandsworth Town Hall, Dr Allin-Khan paid tribute to Jo Cox , who was killed in her Batley and Spen constituency on Thursday.

Jo's death reminds us that our democracy is precious but fragile. We must never forget to cherish it. Thousands of people voted today and we are all here in recognition of our democratic values."

My thoughts and prayers are with Jo's husband and her children. She was a proud and passionate campaigner who will be desperately missed.

The vote in Tooting was held to find a replacement for the London Mayor who stood down after defeating Conservative Zac Goldsmith in the City Hall contest in May.

Labour councillor and junior doctor Dr Allin-Khan was born and raised in the area. She works as an emergency doctor at St George's Hospital and is also deputy leader of Wandsworth Labour group.
