1928 Aberdeen North by-election

The 1928 Aberdeen North by-election was held on Thursday, 16 August 1928.

The by-election was held due to the death of the incumbent Labour MP, Frank Herbert Rose.

It was won by the Labour candidate William Wedgwood Benn.

[1][2] The by-election was one of the first elections in the UK where a Communist candidate stood against Labour since Comintern had abandoned its policy of entryism, with the candidacy of Aitken Ferguson, a member of the local Trades Council,[3] who had been the Labour candidate in the 1924 Glasgow Kelvingrove by-election.
