Lisa Forbes

A by-election for the United Kingdom parliamentary constituency of Peterborough was held on 6 June 2019. It was triggered by incumbent Labour Party MP Fiona Onasanya being removed from office via a recall petition, following her conviction of perverting the course of justice in relation to a speeding offence. Lisa Forbes, also of Labour, won the by-election with a reduced majority, narrowly holding-off the Brexit Party's Mike Greene.
