Islington North in the 2024 United Kingdom general election

An election took place in the north London constituency of Islington North on 4 July 2024, as part of the 2024 United Kingdom general election. Jeremy Corbyn, the former leader of the Labour Party, won the seat by standing as an independent against the official Labour Party candidate, with a majority of 7,247.

Corbyn was not allowed to stand for re-election as a Labour candidate by new Labour leader Keir Starmer following his suspension from the party in 2020. Labour's National Executive Committee said the decision was made due to Corbyn claiming that antisemitism in the party under his leadership was overstated by the media. Corbyn has repeatedly condemned antisemitism and denied he holds any racist views. After announcing he would stand as an independent candidate at the election, Corbyn was fully expelled from the Labour Party. The ''Islington Tribune'', a local newspaper, described the Islington North election as something we "have not seen before in our lives".

On election day, Corbyn won the election, with a majority of over 7,000. Provided by Wikipedia
