Members of Parliament deselected
MP Current Seat First elected Party (as elected) New seat Note
Stuart Andrew Pudsey 2010 Conservative TBC Has said he will not stand in either of the two new Pudsey constituencies being created, but has not ruled out standing in a different seat.[1]
Stuart Anderson Wolverhampton South West 2019 Conservative South Shropshire While there are no significant changes to his current seat, it is a marginal Conservative seat, whereas South Shropshire is likely a safe Conservative seat. Anderson had initially announced he would not stand for re-election but subsequently reversed his decision.[2]
Simon Baynes Clwyd South 2019 Conservative North Shropshire Selected for North Shropshire after his Clwyd South seat is being abolished in boundary changes. His new seat, which the Liberal Democrats gained in a 2021 by-election, contains none of his present seat.[3]
Flick Drummond Meon Valley 2019 Conservative Winchester Selected for Winchester in July 2023 as her Meon Valley seat is being abolished. The Winchester seat contains about 25% of her present seat. She sought selection for the proposed Fareham and Waterlooville seat, which contains a plurality of her current seat and is forecast to be much safer for the Conservatives than Winchester (a key Liberal Democrat target), but was defeated by Suella Braverman, the current MP for Fareham and Home Secretary.
Eddie Hughes Walsall North 2019 Conservative Tamworth Selected for Tamworth as his current Walsall North seat is being abolished, and the main successor seat of Walsall and Bloxwich is considered significantly more vulnerable to the Labour Party than Tamworth, where the incumbent MP Chris Pincher announced he would be standing down following a scandal.[4] However, Pincher resigned in September 2023 and a by-election was called for the seat. Hughes stated he would only maintain his candidacy if the Conservatives lost the seat, which they did.
Paul Holmes Eastleigh 2019 Conservative Hamble Valley Selected to the new Hamble Valley seat. The new seat contains 48% of his current seat of Eastleigh.[5]
Alison McGovern Wirral South 2010 Labour Birkenhead Selected for Birkenhead due the abolition of her Wirral South seat, beating incumbent Mick Whitley.[6] The reconfigured Birkenhead contains a small part of her present seat.[7]
Alec Shelbrooke Elmet and Rothwell 2010 Conservative Wetherby and Easingwold Selected for Wetherby and Easingwold due to his current Elmet and Rothwell seat being abolished and broken up between four other seats. Wetherby and Easingwold will take in the Harewood and Wetherby wards of Leeds, but is otherwise based in North Yorkshire rather than West Yorkshire.[8]
Iain Stewart Milton Keynes South 2010 Conservative Buckingham and Bletchley Sselected for the new Buckingham and Bletchley seat, rather than his present seat of Milton Keynes South.[9]
