Having been appointed steward and bailiff of the Three Hundreds of Chiltern, Ms Dorries is now no longer an MP. When the Commons returns from recess on 4 September, a writ can be moved to trigger a by-election within 21 to 27 working days.
This would put the likely timetable for a vote right around the time of Conservative Party and Labour Party conferences, which are being held from 1 October to 4 October, and 8 October and 11 October respectively.Mr Sunak said:"I'm grateful to Nadine for her service both as an MP and a minister.
"We are looking forward, and delighted to support our fantastic candidate in Mid-Beds, Festus Akinbusoye, who is the local candidate, the only local candidate in this election; also the local police and crime commissioner. "He's got a fantastic track record of already standing up for local people, and I hope he can continue to do that as a new member of parliament.", Labour and Liberal Democrats have all been campaigning vociferously in Ms Dorries's seat over the summer, despite her not having left until today., which may be using cookies and other technologies.
