Oldham West and Royton by-election, 2015
The Oldham West and Royton by-election is a UK parliamentary election to be held on 3 December 2015 in the constituency of Oldham West and Royton in Greater Manchester. This will be the first by-election of the 56th UK Parliament.
The by-election was caused by the death of the sitting MP Michael Meacher on 21 October 2015; Meacher had been the Labour Party MP for the seat since its creation in 1997 and had represented its predecessor seat of Oldham West since 1970.
A writ for the by-election was moved in Parliament on 2 November 2015, setting polling day as 3 December 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-34702092 )〕
