128,644 residents have had their say at the polls as three MPs have been elected to represent areas in the Royal Borough of Greenwich.

Clive Efford (Labour) was elected to represent the new Eltham & Chislehurst seat. Abena Oppong-Asare (Labour) and Matthew Pennycook (Labour) retained their seats for Erith and Thamesmead and Greenwich and Woolwich respectively.

Ballots were cast across the three constituencies in what was the first General Election following the boundary review in 2023, which resulted in the creation of the new Eltham and Chislehurst constituency and minor changes to the boundaries of the other two constituencies.

Thank you to over 340 members of staff who worked through the night to count ballots at the Waterfront Leisure Centre before results were declared at 4.55am.
