George Galloway has lost his seat after just 126 days as MP for Rochdale.
The Workers Party of Great Britain leader was only elected in a stunning by-election victory in March.
But he was defeated by Labour’s Paul Waugh, bringing an end to his short-lived return to Westminster.
Galloway did not even turn up to hear the result being declared.
Waugh is a longstanding journalist and a former political editor of HuffPost UK.
He unsuccessfully stood to be Labour’s candidate at the by-election, but was defeated by Azhar Ali.
However, the party ended up withdrawing its support for him over secretly-recorded comments he made about Israel. Galloway was then elected with a majority of 5,697.
