Liberal Democrat David Ward has taken the Bradford East seat.
The constituency, formerly Bradford North, was a Labour seat held by Terry Rooney.
The result is one of the last ones to come in nationally, and the latest one from the Bradford district, and came after a recount.
David Ward's majority was just 365. Mr Ward thanked voters for not backing racist parties.
