John Lamont MP said: “Thank you to everyone who voted to re-elect me as your MP for the Scottish Borders.
“It was a bad night for the UK party but my brilliant team helped me to defy expectations and win again here in the Borders. Thank you to all the tremendous volunteers and activists who gave up their time to help me.
“Well done to all the other candidates too. It was a good, clean, hard-fought campaign.
“It has been the honour of my life to represent the Borders and I am delighted that I have the chance to continue delivering for local people.
“After a short break over the next few weeks, my team and I will soon be back and ready to help with any local issues that you may have.”
