Helen Harrison Selected as Conservative Candidate for Wellingborough By-election

The by-election follows former MP Peter Bone losing his seat amid accusations of misconduct, with Labour poised as the favourite to regain the seat.

Helen Harrison, the girlfriend of former MP Peter Bone, has been selected as the Conservative candidate in the upcoming by-election to replace him in Wellingborough.
Peter Bone lost his seat following accusations of bullying and sexual misconduct against a member of his staff, which he denies.
The by-election was triggered after more than 10,000 constituents signed a recall petition on Bone's future.
Labour, which held the seat from 1997 to 2005, has chosen Genevieve Kitchen as its candidate, making it the bookmakers’ favourite to regain the seat.
The exact date of the by-election will not be known until Monday at the earliest.
