A by-election took place on 15 February 2024 in the UK Parliament constituency of Kingswood in South Gloucestershire. This followed the resignation of Conservative[N 1] MP Chris Skidmore, in protest at the UK government's decision to issue more oil and gas licences. Skidmore announced his resignation on 5 January and it was effected three days later.
The election was won by Damien Egan of the Labour Party with a 16% swing. The turnout was 37.1%.[1]
The by-election took place on the same day as the Wellingborough by-election, also won by Labour from the Conservatives.
