DUP MP for East Derry Gregory Campbell.
The constituency of East Derry has gone to a recount.
There were rumours of a recount occuring at around 6:30 am in Magherafelt.
Throughout the night there had been talk within the DUP that the vote was tight in the constituency.
The DUP and Gregory Campbell had held the seat since 2001, with the 71-year-old winning with a majority of 9,600 votes in the 2019 general election.
But Sinn Fein have come within a whisker of taking the seat from the DUP.
The East Derry seat has always been held by a unionist party but Kathleen McGurk may throw a spanner in the works and become the first nationalist to hold the seat.
