Robust conservative André Selous was the biggest loser in Bedfordshire, losing his Dunstable seat and Leighton Buzzard to Labour.
Labor took four seats overnight, including Bedford, Luton and South Bedfordshire – and Luton North.
Luton North MP Sarah Owen said she would work hard to gain the trust of constituents, as Reform UK and the Labor Party also recorded substantial numbers.
Conservatives Ricardo Fuller and Blake Stephenson kept their seats.
Sarah Owen retained her seat with 14,677 votes in Luton North, with Jilleane Brown coming second for the Conservatives with 7,167. Reform won 4,666 votes, with the Workers’ Party of Great Britain getting 3,914.
In her acceptance speech, the MP said: “I love Luton, it’s my home and I’m so proud to represent it.
“I will continue to work hard to represent everyone in Luton North and gain the trust of those who didn’t feel they could vote for us this time.”
She then thanked all the volunteers who helped with her campaign.
Rachel Hopkins won the Luton South and South Bedfordshire seat for the Labor Party with 35.4% of the vote.
She said: “People voted for change after 14 years of Tory failure.
“It is up to us now, as the new Labor government, to rebuild trust when it comes to the economy, rebuild our public services which have been decimated over the last 14 years and rebuild trust and integrity in politics.”
Conservative Andrew Selous’s 23-year term as MP came to an end when he lost the new draw Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard seat for Alex Mayer of the Labor Party.
Mayer wins by just 667 votes, becoming the first female deputy in the area since 1966.
After two narrow victories in 2017 and 2019, the Labor Party Mohammad Yasin won in Bedford for the third time, but this time he has a majority of over 9,000.
In second place was Conservative Pinder Chauhan – with Reform UK in third.
Yasin paid tribute to his team and especially his campaign manager, Shane Kelly.
With a very small majority, Richard Fuller regained his North Bedfordshire seat.
He won with 19,981 votes, and in second place was Uday Nagaraju of the Labor Party with 14,567 votes.
He said that despite Labour’s landslide victory, the Conservatives needed to provide an “effective opposition”.
Conservatives need to stay united as people don’t like divided parties, he added.
Blake Stephenson won back his seat Bedfordshire Center for the Conservatives with 16,912 votes, defeating the Labor candidate who obtained 15,591 votes.
The seat was held by former Conservative minister Nadine Dorries, who resigned in 2023, a year after Rishi Sunak took over as leader of the Conservatives after Boris Johnson was ousted by his party.
A by-election saw Labour’s Alistair Strathern win the seat with a majority of 1,192, overturning Dorries’ 2019 majority of 24,664.
He is now in the neighboring constituency of Hitchin in Hertfordshire.
