There was a high turnout in the election for the MP for Somerton and Frome with the sitting MP Conservative David Warburton winning 36,230 votes, 55.8 per cent. In second place, Liberal Democrat Adam Boyden, with 17,017, Labour's Sean Dromgoole won 8,354 votes while the Green Party's Andrea Dexter was in fourth place with 3,295. The results give David Warburton a majority of 29.6 per cent while the overall turnout was 75.6 per cent.

Speaking of his campaign, he told Nub News: "When the election was called and parliament dissolved, we immediately began to put together my schedule for visiting as many communities as possible across our 900 square mile constituency and meeting as many people as possible. In any campaign, it's particularly vital to spend the very limited time with those who are as yet undecided as to who they'd like in 10 Downing Street, so I arranged innumerable campaign events, meetings and door-knocking sessions alongside many local people and volunteers."
