Labour easily holds City of Chester seat in first byelection test for Sunak

Labour has easily held the City of Chester following a byelection, winning by a majority of 10,974 in a brutal first electoral test for Rishi Sunak.

Sir John Curtice, professor of politics at Strathclyde University, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on Friday the result indicated Labour would win a sizeable victory if a general election were held today. The constituency has come a long way from being the most marginal in the country in 2015, where Labour won by only 93 votes. In 2017, Labour won by 9,176 votes and by 6,164 in 2019.
