Suella Braverman is set to remain as a Tory MP after surviving a selection fight dubbed the "Battle of Waterlooville".
Constituency boundary changes meant the Home Secretary had to compete against Conservative backbencher Flick Drummond to represent the proposed new seat of Fareham and Waterlooville at the general election, expected next year.
Mrs Braverman, 43, who currently represents the Fareham constituency, beat Meon Valley MP Ms Drummond, 60, by 77 votes to 54 in a poll of local party members.
