George Galloway, who took the Bradford West MP seat with a landslide victory in the early hours of this morning, has been confronted by his first egg-throwing protester.
After being in the job for barely 12 hours, Galloway - who swept to victory with a 10,000 majority over his nearest rival, Labour's Imran Hussain - met the press outside his campaign office, a solicitor's office on Grattan Road, Bradford.
After talking to the media and just before he was due to get on his campaign bus for a triumphant tour around his new patch, a lone protester began to shout abuse at Mr Galloway.
Several eggs were thrown in Mr Galloway's direction, but none of them hit their target. Mr Galloway's supporters stepped in to form a human shield between the MP and the egg-thrower.
Shortly afterwards, Mr Galloway proceeded with his open-topped bus tour to survey his new constituency.
