The Green Party are "quietly confident" they have won their first Westminster seat, their chairman has told the BBC.
The party hopes leader Caroline Lucas has won their first Westminster seat at Brighton Pavilion, although the votes are yet to be counted.
The Greens are fielding more than 300 candidates in the general election, and also campaigning hard in Lewisham and Deptford, and Norwich South.
Ms Lucas has previously said a hung parliament would be "interesting".
"Both in terms of perhaps increasing our chances of getting a fairer electoral system, so that people’s voices are properly heard. But also of course in giving the Greens that bit more influence. So, I think these are pretty exciting days ahead," she told BBC News.
The party had had 200 people campaigning in Brighton on Thursday to ensure people who had said they would vote Green did so, she said.
