Which parties and MPs have held the Hexham seat in the past?
Hexham is one of the few safe Conservative seats in the North East - it's been held by the Tories since as far back as 1924.
The closest the seat has come to a change of hands was in 1997, when just over 200 votes separated the Conservative and Labour candidates, but since then Conservative victories have been much more convincing.
Wiltshire-born former barrister Guy Opperman was first elected to the seat in 2010, taking over from Peter Atkinson.
