Who is my MP? Use our handy tool to find out who represents you now

It was a morning of change on the political map of Leicestershire, with entirely new seats being created and Labor strongholds falling to other candidates. Former shadow health secretary Jon Ashworth lost Leicester South to independent Shockat Adam, while Leicester East went to the Tories.

With more than 100 former MPs standing down ahead of yesterday’s election, millions of people are waking up this morning to find they have new MPs representing them. Of 650 seats in the House of Commons, more than 300 have changed hands since yesterday’s general election.

The election saw Labor come to power, not just because of the party’s better results since Sir Keir Starmer took over from Jeremy Corbyn, but also because Tory voters changed their faith or simply stayed the home.

While the city has had some big shocks, mentioned above, there have been changes in other parts of the county as well. North West Leicestershire, won by the Conservatives at the last election, went to Labor Party candidate Amanda Hack, who won by a majority of around 1,000 votes.

And the Labor Party’s Jeevun Sandher reclaimed the Loughborough seat for Labour, after several years as a Tory seat. However, the neighboring seat of Mid Leicestershire – a new one for this election – was taken by the Tories.

The other county seats were all held by the Conservatives, who at the time of writing managed to win just 121 seats – down 250 seats on the result in 2019, when Boris Johnson was in power.
