192 ballot papers were rejected, with the turnout being 77.18%.

Speaking after her win, Wera Hobhouse said: "“I want to thank the other candidates for a respectful contest. I think we demonstrated that it is possible to disagree, but disagree well.

"I want to thank the people of Bath for putting their trust in me and re-electing me as their MP. It seems that the Conservatives will win a majority to deliver Brexit. Here in Bath, we believe in an open, tolerant and outward looking society, and I will continue to tirelessly fight for that."
