Reform wins fifth seat in South Basildon and East Thurrock

Across Essex the Tories lost eight seats as Labour won five, while Reform UK gained two and the Liberal Democrats, one.

The race in South Basildon and East Thurrock was so close, a recount was held.

Mr McMurdock received 12,178 votes compared to 12,080 for Labour candidate Jack Ferguson.

It put the Conservatives into third place as Stephen Metcalfe got 25% of the vote – a huge fall from his 2019 election victory of 65.4%.

Eight candidates stood in 2024, including two independents. It was a poor showing for the Liberal Democrats who took 2.71% of the vote, behind the Greens on 4.34%.
