Respect Party candidate George Galloway has taken the Bradford West parliamentary seat from Labour, winning the by-election by 10,140 votes.
Mr Galloway, expelled by Labour in 2003, said it was the "most sensational victory" in by-election history.
Labour leader Ed Miliband said it was "incredibly disappointing" and the party needed to "learn lessons".
At the 2010 General Election, Labour's Marsha Singh, who resigned on health grounds, won with a majority of 5,763.
