2024 Wellingborough by-election
A by-election took place on Thursday 15 February 2024 in the UK Parliament constituency of Wellingborough. This followed a recall petition held in late 2023 that removed the incumbent MP Peter Bone under the terms of the Recall of MPs Act 2015, triggered by his six-week suspension from the House of Commons for bullying and sexual harassment.

The by-election was won by Gen Kitchen of the Labour Party. It was the second biggest swing ever since the 1994 Dudley West by-election. It was also the largest drop in the Conservative vote share ever in a by-election since the 1993 Christchurch by-election.
The by-election took place on the same day as the Kingswood by-election, also won by Labour from the Conservatives.
