A UK Conservative Party candidate has won a by-election in Hartlepool, upstaging Labour for the first time since the seat was created nearly five decades ago.
Tory candidate Jill Mortimer came in first with 51.88%, beating her Labour opponent, Paul Williams, by almost 7,000 votes. She will be the first Conservative MP from the area since the seat was created in 1974.
