Dehanna Davison has successfully captured Bishop Auckland from Labour for the first time in almost a century.
Miss Davison, who previously contested Tony Blair's former seat of Sedgefield in 2017, joined the Tories aged 15 while studying at private school.
Back in 2017 she was just, 23, and was working in a computer game shop with a fiancé 34 years older than her.
She took the seat from Labour's Helen Goodman who conceded defeat shortly after 2.10am.
Born in Sheffield, Miss Davison, moved to Hull to study British politics and legislative studies and is in her final year, while working in a shop in the city.
Miss Davison spent a year as an assistant to prominent Tory Jacob Rees-Mogg as part of her degree.
In the 2015 general election she stood in Hull North, finishing third behind Labour and UKIP but increasing the share of the Tory vote.
Miss Davison has also said: “I have always been mature and my family know I don’t take decisions lightly, so they have been supportive.
“As long as I am happy, they are happy, and they seem to think John makes me happy.”
