Labour gain new Pendle and Clitheroe seat from Conservatives
Labour’s Jonathan Hinder has won the new Pendle and Clitheroe seat from former longstanding Pendle Tory MP Andrew Stephenson.
Mr Hinder, a Ribble Valley resident, won the new seat after a tense contest from Mr Stephenson who won four elections from 2010 from the Conservative Party.
The Tories had requested a recount, but in the end victory was declared for Labour’s Hinder who received 16,129 votes to Stephenson’s 15,227.
