Wakefield has its first Conservative MP since 1931, after a shock general election result saw Mary Creagh kicked out of the traditional Labour safe seat.
Ms Creagh lost to Tory Imran Nasir Ahmad-Khan in a disastrous night for the Labour Party.
In an emotional speech Ms Creagh thanked everyone for a fair campaign.
She thanked the police and the presiding officer for their work and said: "Can I begin by congratulating my opponent and urging him to act always in the best interest of the people of Wakefield?
"Them putting their trust in me for the last 15 years has been the honour of my professional life.
"Even on this disastrous night for the Labour party I am proud to have been a Labour MP."
Yorkshire Party candidate Ryan Kett won 868 votes and Liberal Democrat candidate Jamie Needle won 1,772.
Independent Stephen Whyte won 454 and the Brexit Party's Peter Wiltshire won 2,725.
Labour had held the Wakefield constituency since a 1932 by-election and Ms Creagh first won the seat in 2005.
