The Runcorn and Helsby by-election was initiated due to former MP Mike Amesbury's resignation after his assault conviction and subsequent jail sentence. This constituency, newly formed ahead of the July 2024 general election, predominantly consists of sections from the Weaver Vale and Halton constituencies. It includes significant urban areas like Runcorn and Frodsham but is largely rural, with diverse population statistics. In the 2024 general election, Amesbury represented Labour with a notable majority, as Reform UK and Conservative parties lagged behind.
The recent by-election in Runcorn and Helsby was prompted by the resignation of Mike Amesbury, who faced legal troubles leading to his resignation from the Commons.
Runcorn and Helsby, a newly created constituency, consists of various towns and villages, with a significant portion classified as rural and a diverse age demographic.
