North West Leicestershire is a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2024 by Amanda Hack of the Labour Party.
It had previously been held by Andrew Bridgen since 2010, as a Conservative from 2010 until 2023, a Reclaim Party member between May and December 2023 and as an Independent for the remainder of his term.
He stood down in 1997 and Labour's David Taylor won the seat, holding it until he died of a heart attack in December 2009.
The population is divided between Labour-inclined former mining areas with high rates of employment[2] and low social housing dependency,[3][n 2] and Conservative-inclined rural villages, with most people focused close to the two towns named.
[6] North West Leicestershire constituency was created in 1983 from parts of the seats of Bosworth to the south and Loughborough to the east.
