The UK Independence Party has gained its first elected MP, with Douglas Carswell taking the seat of Clacton by 12,404 votes.
Mr Carswell, who defected from the Conservatives, knocked his old party - which enjoyed a 12,068 majority at the 2010 election - into second place.
He then told UKIP supporters there was "nothing that we cannot achieve".
In the night's other by-election, Labour held on to Heywood and Middleton but UKIP slashed its majority to 617.
When Mr Carswell - a Tory MP since 2005 - switched party allegiance in August, he also resigned as an MP to trigger the by-election in the Essex seaside town.
'Stay true'
