Premature

As yet, there is no recall petition; WP:TOOSOON.

"In the case of a conviction, the recall petition will not be opened unless the appeal period expires without the conviction, sentence or order having been overturned or all appeals have been heard and dismissed."^[1]

Onasanya is reported to have appealed. Nedrutland (talk) 16:34, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think in this case, remembering not to stray into newspaper/blog territory, we can add the fact she has appealed and that the recall petition might be suspended. I have, incidentally, created a redirect for 2019 Peterborough by-election. doktorb _words^deeds 17:02, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
