May 6, 2005 5:16 PM
Chris Huhne has held Eastleigh constituency for the Liberal Democrats in the General Election. In a very close result, Chris Huhne won by 568 votes over Conservative candidate, Conor Burns.
Chris Huhne said:
"With David Chidgey retiring it was always expected to be a close fight, but the hard work that he has put in over his eleven years as our MP has helped us to our victory tonight. I would like to thank local residents for putting their trust in me to serve as their Member of Parliament, and I now look forward to getting on with the job."
In the elections to Hampshire County Council, Liberal Democrat candidates won every division in the Eastleigh constituency.
