The Labour Party will represent all 3 seats that cover Milton Keynes in the next Parliament after their candidates won in the election.

In Milton Keynes’ first election with 3 MPs, Labour candidates Callum Anderson, Chris Curtis and Emily Darlington were the winners, with Anderson winning the Buckingham and Bletchley seat, Curtis in the MK North ballot and Darlington elected MP for Milton Keynes Central.

The results are the first time that Labour has won any Parliamentary seat in Milton Keynes since 2005, and comes in the year the party also won a majority of seats on Milton Keynes City Council.

The result also means that incumbent Conservative MPs Iain Stewart and Ben Everitt will leave Westminster. Stewart had spent 14 years representing Milton Keynes, having first won election to the then-new Milton Keynes South constituency in 2010, while Everitt replaced former incumbent Mark Lancaster at the last election in 2019.

This was Milton Keynes’ first election with three MPs as per boundary reviews since the last election in 2019. The existing Milton Keynes North remained a named constituency but with revised boundaries, while South was replaced with some areas merged with Buckingham to make the Buckingham and Bletchley seat and other parts made into a new seat called Milton Keynes Central.

On a night that saw Labour win a nationwide majority in a Parliamentary election for the first time since 2005, all 3 results in Milton Keynes would see a Labour candidate win, with a Conservative as runner-up, Reform UK candidate in third and Liberal Democrat in fourth.

The Buckingham and Bletchley seat was the first to declare a final result just before 3:20am and was the closest of the three, with Labour candidate Anderson beating sitting MP Stewart by less than 2,500 votes. Anderson recorded 17,602 votes, just ahead of Stewart’s 15,181.

Reform’s Jordan Cattell was next with 7,468 votes, followed by Liberal Democrat candidate Dominic Dyer on 4,300, Amanda Onwuemene of the Greens with 2,590 and independent Ray Brady, who picked up 500 votes. Turnout was 63.94%.

Next to announce a result was the Milton Keynes North constituency, who declared a result at 3:40am. The results in this seat saw Curtis beat incumbent Tory MP Everitt. Labour picked up 19,318 votes, just over 5,000 more than the 13,888 picked up by Everitt and the Tories.

Reform’s Jane Anne Duckworth was third on 6,164, with the Lib Dem’s Clare Tevlin recording 3,365 votes and the Green’s Alan Francis receiving 3,242 votes. Turnout was 65.28%.

The final seat declared was the new Milton Keynes Central constituency, which announced their results just after 3:50am.

Labour candidate Darlington will be the first MP for this constituency after she received 20,209 votes. She finished ahead of the Conservative candidate Johnny Luk, who scored 12,918, for a majority of just over 7,200.

David Reilly of Reform UK secured 6,245 votes, followed by Liberal Democrat candidate James Cox with 4,931. Frances Bonney of the Greens finished fifth on 3,226 votes, while Alfred Saint-Clair of the Heritage Party had 200 votes. Turnout was 59.12%.
