Mr Gethins said: “I’m extraordinarily grateful to everyone who voted for me and the volunteers who worked so hard to ensure this election victory, but most of all to the people who put their trust in me.
“It is now my job to represent everyone in this constituency to the best of my ability.”
“It has been a challenging night for the SNP and it’s now important that the party listens and reflects.
“The UK faces significant challenges like austerity, the cost of living crisis and Brexit, which we will challenge the new Labour government on. There will be no knee-jerk reactions from me tonight, but the party has had a challenging night, which is important to reflect on.”
What happened in Arbroath and Broughty Ferry?
Mr Gethins will be the first MP to represent the new Arbroath and Broughty Ferry seat.
There was a turnout of 58.15% and 44,277 in the new constituency, which encompasses much of the former Dundee East seat.
The SNP had held Dundee East since 2005, with the retiring Stewart Hosie sitting on a comfortable majority of 13,375.
Conservative candidate Richard Brooks came in third place, with 6,841 votes.
What were results in Angus and Perthshire Glens?
In Angus and the Perthshire Glens, Dave Doogan held on for the SNP.
He held the previous Angus constituency since 2019 with a majority of 3,795.
He will now be the MP for a larger constituency which includes large parts of Angus and north Perthshire.
Mr Doogan said: “No one on that ballot paper knows the communities across Angus and the Perthshire Glens as well as I do, as someone from Perthshire and having represented Angus.
“I’ve also demonstrated having represented Angus over the past five years that I’m a very mobile and energetic MP.
“I don’t spend all my time down at Westminster and spend an awful lot of time speaking to people in the constituency.
“I’m part of a team and I’ve led the campaign from the front, but I can’t take away from the team that’s behind me.
“It’s a great privilege that my majority is bigger now than it was in 2019.
“And that’s against the backdrop of what is happening to the SNP more broadly.”
In the former Perth and North Perthshire seat the SNP had also held a majority of 7,550 from the 2019 election.
