Exit polls put Cameron's party ahead, but shows no single winner
The Conservatives were projected by the exit poll to have won 316 seats in Parliament, more than what pre-election polls had suggested, but the figure would still be 10 seats short of the 326 required to win an outright majority.
The exit poll has been conducted by BBC, Sky News and ITV.
The Liberal Democrats, Cameron's coalition partner, were projected to win only 10 seats, a loss of 47 seats from 2010, but enough to put the two parties together to be able to form the next government.
The opposition Labour Party, led by Ed Miliband, has been projected to have won 239 seats, 19 less than in 2010, a poorer showing than pre-election polls result.
