BBC: The Liberal Democrats have won the Brecon and Radnorshire by-election, leaving new PM Boris Johnson with a Commons working majority of just one.
Jane Dodds overturned an 8,038 majority to beat incumbent Conservative Chris Davies by 1,425 votes.
Mr Davies decided to stand again after being unseated by a petition following his conviction for a false expenses claim.
It was the first electoral test for Mr Johnson since becoming prime minister.
Now, with a particularly wafer-thin working majority, he will have to rely heavily on the support of his own MPs and his confidence-and-supply partners the DUP to get any legislation passed in key votes.
It was also a bad night for Labour, whose vote share dropped by 12.4% as they were beaten into fourth place by the Brexit Party.
Ms Dodds, who is the Welsh Liberal Democrat leader, said: “My very first act as your new MP when I get to Westminster will be to find Mr Boris Johnson, wherever he’s hiding, and tell him to stop playing with the future of our community and rule out a no deal Brexit”.
Mr Davies congratulated Ms Dodds saying “I wish her well for the future” and he paid tribute to his family saying they had “a difficult time over the past few months”.
The turnout was 59.6%, down from 74.6% at the general election, but it is the highest for a by-election since Winchester in 1997.
Both Plaid Cymru and the Greens did not field candidates, to try to maximise the Remain vote.
Plaid leader Adam Price said the “spirit of co-operation” between the pro-Remain parties had led to Ms Dodds’s election, as he called for a second referendum.
“But if the prime minister is intent on a general election, he should know that Plaid Cymru and the other pro-Remain parties are committed to cooperating so that we beat Brexit once and for all,” he added.
Ms Dodds, 55, lives in the neighbouring constituency of Montgomeryshire and is a child-protection social worker.
The Lib Dems regained the rural seat – which it had held for all but nine of the last 34 years and lost at the 2015 general election.
Analysis
By Jonathan Blake, BBC political correspondent
As the ballots were counted, the candidates looked on – neither the Tories or the Liberal Democrats dared to claim victory or concede defeat.
One thing was certain, the result when it came would be close.
But a win is a win and the Lib Dems will shout this from the rooftops as proof they can cut through with an anti-Brexit message.
The Remain alliance proved to be a winning formula, as Plaid Cymru and the Green Party stood aside to give the Lib Dems a clear run against the Tories.
If the Brexit Party hadn’t been standing, the Conservatives might have clinched it.
Labour will look hard at their disastrous result and wonder what might have been with a clearer message on Brexit.
And for the Tories, the people of Brecon and Radnorshire have delivered an unwelcome verdict on their former MP and the new prime minister.
Boris Johnson’s hands were already tied in parliament and the ropes around his wrists have just been pulled a little tighter.
Recently-elected Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson said: “Boris Johnson’s shrinking majority makes it clear that he has no mandate to crash us out of the EU.”
Labour, which at one stage feared it might lose its deposit, blamed voters switching tactically to the Lib Dems.
A spokesman for Welsh Labour said: “We always knew this was going to be a difficult night for us, but we’re proud of our positive campaign in Brecon and Radnorshire”.
“One thing is clear – voters have rejected Boris Johnson and his divisive, out-of-touch UK Tory government.”
Political analyst Prof Roger Awan-Scully, from Cardiff University, said: “Labour need to look very closely at this result. Everything points to not just tactical voting for the Lib Dems but also dissatisfaction with Jeremy Corbyn and [First Minister] Mark Drakeford”.
The Brexit Party’s Des Parkinson, a retired police chief superintendent, who finished third, said: “If you look at the actual total of the vote, the Brexiteers won.
“It shows where the votes are but the prime minister has to deliver a clear Brexit… if he doesn’t, then his government is in dire trouble”.
The Monster Raving Loony Party pushed the UKIP candidate into sixth place.
