Gillian Keegan lost her seat after seven years of representing Chichester, which has been a Conservative-held constituency since 1924.
General Election results have poured in during the small hours of Friday morning, revealing a Labour majority - and record Conservative losses.
Ex-Leader of the Commons Penny Mordaunt was beaten by Labour in Portsmouth North, gaining 13,715 votes to Labour's 14,495. Ex Justice Secretary Alex Chalk has also lost his seat of Cheltenham to Liberal Democrat candidate Max Wilkinson, after a swing of 1.3 points. Mordaunt was tipped to run for party leadership again, a feat now out of reach after the loss of her seat.Grant Shapps' career has seen him take on five different positions in the Cabinet - transport secretary, home secretary, energy security secretary, business secretary, and most recently, defence secretary.
Gillian Keegan said losing her seat in Chichester to Lib Dem candidate Jess Brown-Fuller was 'not the outcome we wanted'. Jacob Rees-Mogg lost out on his seat to an old foe, Dan Norris - the Labour candidate who headed the North East Somerset for 13 years before Rees-Mogg unseated him in 2010.
