Date20 July 2023

The 2023 Selby and Ainsty by-election will take place on 20 July 2023, following the announcement on 10 June 2023 that the incumbent Conservative MP, Nigel Adams, was standing down from Parliament with immediate effect.[1] Adams had previously announced he intended to stand down as an MP at the next general election, with the Party having selected a candidate to succeed him the previous day.[2] Adams formally confirmed his resignation on 12 June 2023.

An ally of the former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, the news of Adams' resignation came a day after Johnson resigned as an MP, triggering the 2023 Uxbridge and South Ruislip by-election.

Nigel Adams had previously rebuffed the idea he would stand down as an MP early. He had been expected to receive a peerage as part of Boris Johnson's resignation honours, but had been removed from the final list by the House of Lords Appointments Commission (HOLAC), which was published the previous day.[3]
