Ms Soubry, an ardent Remainer, secured just 4,668 seats. Her Tory rival Darren Henry won with 26,602. Labour’s Greg Marshall pushed Ms Soubry into third after receiving 21,271 votes. This was one of the most closely-watched seats in the country during the election.
Ms Soubry hit the headlines by joining the Group for Independent Change and leaving the Tories earlier this year.
The party aimed to break the traditional two-party system, but after initially gaining 11 MPs, they now only have five.
Labour’s Greg Marshall stood for the second time, after shrinking Anna Soubry’s majority from 4,287 in 2015.
In the 2016 EU referendum, 54.6 percent of people in the Broxtowe Borough Council area voted leave.
