LONDON, Sept 5 — Two British parliamentary by-elections will be held in October in a test of how Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives are faring in the party’s heartlands and whether the opposition Labour Party is recovering support in Scotland.
On October 19, Sunak’s Conservatives will bid to keep hold of the Mid-Bedfordshire seat in south-east England vacated by Nadine Dorries, who criticised Sunak’s leadership when she formally resigned last month. In those July votes, Sunak’s Conservatives lost two strategically important parliamentary seats but unexpectedly retained Johnson’s old constituency in a setback for Labour.
Margaret Ferrier had represented Rutherglen and Hamilton West on the outskirts of Glasgow, and the contest to replace her is likely to be held on October 5. The final decision on the date is pending approval from the local council.
