As the votes continue to be counted, the Harrow Times takes a look at the electoral picture in Harrow East.
The picture in Harrow East is looking bleak for Labour's Tony McNulty as boundary changes and the expenses scandal potentially take their toll.
He was elected in 2005 with a 4,730 majority over then Tory candidate David Ashton, itself a dramatic reduction in his majority of more than 11,000 in 2001.
However, the Harrow East constituency has lost the Greenhill and Marlborough wards owing to boundary changes.
Although turnout is expected to be up this year on 2005, the 2006 council elections give a indicator of how things may turnout.
Greenhill ward was a closely fought contest, with the Tories edging a victory, but the loss of Marlborough will be a big blow to Mr McNulty as it was won by Labour in 2006 by more than 800 votes.
The changes have left the Labour candidate with a notional majority of 2,924 over main challenger Bob Blackman from the Tories.
However, Mr McNulty also has to overcome his high profile expenses scandal and subsequent resignation from government which left a considerable mark in the minds of many Harrow residents.
He has consistently defended his position over expenses and will be hoping he has done enough to convince Harrow East residents to return him to Parliament for another term.
The Liberal Democrats sit a distant third in Harrow East, according to the boundary changes, but the Nick Clegg-inspired surge in the polls could reflect well on candidate Nahid Boethe's chances.
Whoever comes out on top, Harrow East has attracted significant attention from the media and is likely to be a closely fought seat.
The candidates in Harrow East are:
Bob Blackman – Conservative Party
Nahid Boethe – Liberal Democrats
