Mid Dorset and North Poole was close but Liberal Democrat candidate Vikki Slade took the win.
By far the narrowest call in the county came in Poole, where votes were counted four times.
It was a big shock in a constituency which had been held by the Conservative's Sir Robert Syms for 27 years, as he lost out to Labour's Neil Duncan-Jordan, who had a majority of just 18 votes.

Peter Henley
Political editor, South of EnglandAnxious faces at Poole in Dorset where they are on a recount after Labour and Conservative ended just four votes apart.
Conservative Sir Robert Syms has held the seat for 27 years and jokes it’s never been so interesting before.

Lib Dems take Mid Dorset and North Poolepublished at 06:34 British Summer Time 5 July
Tristan Pascoe
Political Reporter, DorsetThe Lib Dems have won their first seat of this election in Dorset.
BCP council leader Vikki Slade took the Mid Dorset and North Poole seat with 21,442, beating the migration minister Michael Tomlinson into second place with a majority of 1,352.
She overturned a Conservative majority of more than 16,000 and remarkably there was no Reform candidate standing that would split the Conservative vote.
It's Vikki Slade's fourth attempt at winning the seat - a hugely significant result for her personally and it raises the question of what she will do with her council responsibilities.
