Chris Webb MP secured the seat with a majority of 7,607 votes ahead of the second-placed Conservative candidate David Jones, whose tally of 3,218 votes put him just ahead of the Reform UK candidate Mark Butcher with 3,101.
The result means the seat returns to Labour after previous MP Scott Benton won it for the Tories at the 2019 General Election before resigning the seat earlier this year.
