Mansfield is a constituency[n 1] created in 1885 represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2024 by Steve Yemm of the Labour Party, who gained the seat at the 2024 general election, from the Conservative Party.[n 2] Between 2017 and 2024 the seat was represented by a Conservative for the first and only time since its creation in 1885.
The seat, centred on Mansfield in Nottinghamshire, in recent times has been considered a relatively marginal seat.[2][3]
The Mansfield council area voted with more than 70% to Leave the European Union in the 2016 referendum. In 2019, the Conservatives received 63.9% of the vote in the formerly safe Labour constituency.
