Speaking at 8am from the count at the River Park Leisure Centre in Winchester he said; "It has been a huge privilege to represent this constituency one but to be allowed to do it again is just awesome. Obviously I am really pleased with this result and humbled by it. We knew during the campaign residents said I had been a good constituency MP and it's so lovely they felt able to come out and support my re-election.
"Big majority or small majority however, it's the same job and I will continue where I left off, working for all the constituency and serving it to the best of my ability."
