The 2024 Blackpool South by-election took place on 2 May 2024, the same day as local elections in England and Wales.
Background
The by-election followed the resignation of incumbent MP Scott Benton, who had been suspended for 35 days from the House of Commons after being caught in a newspaper sting operation offering lobbying services for payment. This triggered a recall petition, which had started, but was then terminated by Benton's resignation.[1]
Turnout 32.5%
The by-election was won by Chris Webb of the Labour Party with a 26% swing, on a turnout of 32.5%. The Workers Party of Britain did not field a candidate.[2]
