Harriet Cross, Scottish Conservative and Unionist, 14,418.
00:10
Richard Jordan-Thompson, Scottish National Party SNP, 13,000.
00:16
Therefore, I give public notice that Harriet Cross is duly elected as the Member of Parliament
00:31
for the Gordon and Buchan Constituency. The total number of votes cast across Gordon
00:35
and Buchan Constituency at UK Parliamentary Elections on 4 July was 44,040, with the total
00:42
number of ballot papers rejected being 166. Thank you.
00:55
Good morning everyone and thank you. I of course want to start by thanking everyone
01:01
who's turned out today to the polling stations to cast their vote, but obviously importantly
01:06
those who actually made the vote happen by manning the polling stations today at the
01:10
count this evening, Presiding Officer. None of this is obviously possible without them.
01:14
But to the people of Gordon and Buchan, thank you so much for putting your faith in me.
01:20
I know, I know that politics has not been in the best place and I know that a lot of
01:25
people feel disillusioned and it's up to me and it's up to everyone who's now elected
01:30
in this new Parliament to put that right and to serve you as our prime focus and that is
01:35
what I promise to do. I made pledges to you and I mean those pledges, they're ones which
01:40
I picked up after speaking to you on doors for more than a year now and I know they're
01:45
important to you and that means that they're important to me. It'd be wrong of me not to
01:50
acknowledge Richard for his service to Gordon over the last five years and I know you'll
02:00
have done great work and I hope that we can carry some of that on if there's stuff left
02:04
over. But going forward, as I say, I'm so honoured to be given this opportunity to serve
02:12
you and represent you and I will do my very best for you every day. Thank you very much.
