It's very early doors up at the count in Rochdale, but already George Galloway's team say they have taken the seat.
A source close to the former Labour MP said they have won "comfortably".
Given the polls closed less than an hour ago, there is still a lot of time left before we get an official result.
But the confidence of the Galloway team to make this call shows how successful the campaign has been in their view.
Speaking after the polls closed, Mr Galloway said: "Thank you to every voter who took the time to send a message to the political class today.
"More than ever, they are two cheeks of the same backside, and in just a few hours they are set to get a good kicking.
"No matter how you voted today, thank you for doing so. I promise, if elected tonight, to be an MP for all Rochdalians - no matter who you voted for."

Looks like the old Commie is back in parliament
Galloway was first elected to parliament 37 years ago
And he still apparently loves, Putin, Hamas, Iran, and Syria.
Lying, thieving, Socialist scumbag, that one.
He should update his campaign message from a vote for galloway is a vote for Gaza, to include “a vote for, Iran, a vote for Yemen, Syria, Libya, Saudis, Afghanistan, and Hezbollah and Islamic Jihaad. That might even put him over the top in a general election.

A brutal ISIS torturer wasn’t the only jihadist terrorist who traveled with former British MP George Galloway to Gaza, it has been revealed.
According to a recent report, Alexander Kotey left the UK on Galloway’s “Viva Palestina” convoy to Gaza in 2009, and from there eventually made his way to Syria to join the Islamic State terror group. [...]
As many as eight Muslim extremists who would later be convicted of or involved in terrorist activities joined the convoy, according to The Times. Among them were Amin Addala and Reza Afsharzadegan, both known associates of Emwazi from west London; and Stephen Gray, a former member of the Royal Air Force who attempted to join ISIS.
The list of extremists who traveled with Galloway also includes a member of the Taliban and former Guantanamo Bay detainee, Jamal al-Harith. Al-Harith was released from Guantanamo in 2004, and more recently joined ISIS in Syria.
