Esther McVey has been re-elected as the MP for Tatton with 57.75% of the vote and an increased majority.
Ms McVey took the Tatton seat an overall majority of 17,387, which was 2,900 more than on 2017.
The turnout was 71.21% in what is historically a Tory stronghold.
Tatton MP Esther McVey said: "I am delighted the people of Tatton put their faith in me once again to represent them, which I hope they know I will do to the very best of my abilities.
"Having ensured Cheshire schools and policing got extra funding, I want to ensure the extra money works for Tatton. I campaigned successfully for a full review of HS2 and will continue to work with locally affected residents. Good local transport is vital and that is why I will be pushing for a better transport services, local bus services are crucial as a reduction in buses disproportionately affects the most vulnerable. We also need more reliable local trains with the promised second train an hour from Northwich to Manchester and we need to improve our local roads – ensuring we get our fair share of the money allocated nationally to repair potholes.
Ms McVey added "Many people did not want a General Election and it was a difficult campaign for everyone working really hard in winter months but Parliament was in deadlock, we were not moving forward and speaking to people across the constituency they knew we had to get past this impasse, so we could unlock Britain's potential and deliver on crucial domestic policies which matter to everyone and their families.
"We need to deliver on the biggest ever democratic vote of our time but we have to remember while 52 per cent of people voted for Brexit, 48 per cent did not and we have to ensure the deal is best for the UK.
"I have been in the Cabinet as a Secretary of State before, and I always come back home here. I live here with my family. I understand my foundations are Tatton, I'm housing minister now and attend Cabinet now, but I'm always back here for my surgeries to meet with people, to hear what's going on, on the ground, and work with people, and first and foresmost I am the MP for Tatton and I will never take it for granted.
"My team has been fantastic, organising, helping, knocking on doors, stuffing envelopes.
"But more than anything once you've got a really happy, vibrant team and people wanting to join your team you know you're doing the right thing.
"They are all amazing, it's a real spread of people and they've just done so much."

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
Historically Stagecoaches had a route on London Road in the 1800’s I believe!
Boris is promising new roads and more buses.
Whoever in Cheshire East is responsible needs to 'chase' some of that money for buses and needs to get stuck in quickly?
1. why not give the new Government a fair crack of the whip?
2 why not encourage your local representatives to seek a share of any new roads etc.? If
you don't ask, you don't get?
This is not a new government.
It's just a more extreme version of the previous Tory ones that Johnson and McVey were a part of.
Nine years of Conservative austerity resulting in misery to millions of the poor and less fortunate in society.
Universal credit causing severe hardship.
Increase in foodbanks and homelessness.
Just a few of the things that McVey and Johnson should accept responsibility for.
Tony
I am genuinely pleased that you feel safe and welcome in this country.
Unfortunately, the same can't be said for other people because of Johnson.
Muslims, LGBT, female MPs have all come out against his lies, racism, homophobia and general hate speech.
No wonder the far right are on the rise.
So don't expect me to be singing his praises anytime soon.
Peace to all.
I didn't say the Conservative Party was far right. Maybe that's just your subconscious telling you that.
However, when the far right see and hear the Prime Minister using the language he does, it only encourages them that it is okay.
The difference between the two party leaders is that one has failed to adequately deal with other's antisemitism in his party and one is lying, homophobic and racist.
Sour grapes?.......no.
I just worry about those less fortunate, cast aside by nine years of Tory government.
p.s.
I do agree that Corbyn is not a good leader.
you did write 'extreme', which in this context is surely much the same as 'far right' ?
