Gregory Campbell, a member of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), has retained the East Londonderry seat in the UK general election by a slim margin over Sinn Fein's Kathleen McGurk. Campbell has held the seat for 23 years and has now topped the poll for the DUP in seven consecutive general elections. The announcement was made after a full recount, and Campbell promised to build a better future for the people of East Londonderry. The DUP's majority was reduced for the first time since the 2010 election, and turnout for East Londonderry was 54.7% [cd3a91da].
