Hannah Spencer of the Green Party has won the Gorton and Denton by-election with 14,980 votes. She finished ahead of Reform UK’s Matt Goodwin, who took 10,578 votes, and Labour’s Angeliki Stogia, who received 9,364.
The constituency had long been regarded as a Labour stronghold. The by-election was triggered after Labour MP Andrew Gwynne resigned in January because of ill health. Gwynne was first elected in 2005 for the former Denton and Reddish seat and was suspended from the Labour Party last year after sending offensive WhatsApp messages.
