After changing parties, Mark Reckless has held onto his Rochester and Strood seat about a by-election which saw him take 16,867 votes - a majority of 2,920.
Mark Reckless becomes second UKIP MP
Following his defection from the Conservative party on the eve of their conference - something he's now admitted was designed to done to cause maximum damage to his former party - David Cameron vowed to defeat him and lead the fight against him being elected.
Now he's eating his words, and UKIP leader Nigel Farage has admitted he's getting more confident about next year's election, claiming: "Literally anything can happen".
Conservatives came in at second with 13,957 votes for candidate Kelly Tolhurst, Labour were third with 6,713 and overall turnout was 50.67%.
The Green Party moved into fourth place, outpolling the Liberal Democrats by almost five to one with 1,692 votes, with the Lib Dems trailing with a humiliating 349 votes.
Speaking in his acceptance speech, Mark Reckless insisted: "If we can win here, we can win across the country. If you vote UKIP, you get UKIP."
Mark follows Douglas Carswell into the Commons as UKIP's second elected MP, after he became the first following his own defection back in August.
Chairman for the Conservative party Grant Shapps admitted he was "disappointed with the result" and accepted that it would "make it harder to do the things we want to do in terms of controlling immigration, carrying on with this economic recovery".
He did go on to say however that with a narrower-than-predicted margin of victory for UKIP, Tory candidate Kelly Tolhurst was in a good position to attempt to try and wrestle back the seat on May 7.
Grant Shapps added: "I'm very sorry that Kelly has not been elected but with 2,900 votes in it, it certainly puts her in strong contention for the general election and we will be fighting very hard to win this back."
