British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Conservative Party has lost one of its strongholds in central England in by-elections.

The North Shropshire election results were announced today.

According to official results, Liberal Democrat candidate Helen Morgan won by nearly 6.000 votes over the Conservative candidate.

In her speech after the declared victory, Morgan said that the voters "clearly told Boris Johnson that the party is over", and that the current government "can be defeated and will be defeated".

The by-elections were held after the resignation of MP Owen Paterson, who is linked to the lobbying case.

The Conservatives lost control of the constituency in the lower house of parliament after nearly 200 years of dominance.
