It was a nail-biter for candidates up and down the country, as the General Election saw some of the tightest results in history.

:: North East Fife in Scotland held its breath as SNP Europe spokesman Stephen Gethins held off a incredibly close challenge from Liberal Democrat Elizabeth Riches by just TWO votes.

Mr Gethins won 13,743 votes compared with Ms Riches who polled 13,741.

Trivia time now - it was the equal-narrowest victory in UK general election history, tied with National Labour's Abraham Flint in Ilkeston in 1931 and Lib Dem Mark Oaten in Winchester in 1997.

:: In the upmarket west London constituency of Kensington, Labour won the seat for the first time, defeating the Conservatives by just 20 votes.

It took three recounts before Emma Dent Coad was declared the victor over Tory incumbent Victoria Borwick, by 16,333 votes to 16,313.

:: The SNP's Pete Wishart, who was the chair of the Scottish Affairs Committee in the last parliament, held on to his Perth and North Perthshire seat by just 21 votes.

He got 21,804 votes, while Conservative Ian Duncan was hot on his heels, picking up 21,783.
