Boris Johnson faces embarrassing defeat in by-elections

Since the constituency was formed in 1974, the Conservative Party has been able to win more than 50 per cent of the vote in each of these constituencies.

However, in Friday's surprise results, the Liberal Democrats and the Conservative Party, a member of the pro-EU party, won more easily than the Conservative Party, winning a majority of 8,028 votes.

Commenting on the drastic change and the shocking result, Junior Home Secretary Kit Malthus said: "It's very disappointing and we were hoping for better results.”

The Conservative Party won last month in Hartlepool, northeast England, in the stronghold of the British opposition Labour Party, citing Johnson's performance in connection with Brexit.

Some experts say the viewpoint that has attracted traditional Labour voters in northern England has harmed the Conservatives' vote in key constituencies.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson's parliamentary seat is just ten miles from west London.

Liberal Democrat leader Ed Dawey, citing the Labour and Conservative parties, said voters were not valued, they felt the Conservatives were not listening, and many of them were angry with Boris Johnson.

"Everyone is talking about the red wall in the north, but they should also think about the blue wall in the south," he said.

Plans to build a new high-speed 2 rail link between London and the north of England have sparked outrage among the national population in Chesham and Amersham, while locals are also disappointed with the government's proposal to reform planning rules. They appear to be concerned that such measures could lead to further development in southern England.

The election in the Chesham and Amersham constituency was called after the death in April of Cheryl Gillan, who had represented it for Johnson’s Conservatives since 1992. At the last poll in 2019, Gillan won by a majority of 16,223 votes.
