UK local by-elections, 2023

[adma]

An unusual example of Labour winning a seat "from nowhere", though they had won in the area in the past.  And a rather less unusual example of the Lib Dems surging to win a seat in a historically strongly Tory area.

which seat are you referring too?

Asfordby for the first and Buckingham East for the second.

The fact that the Lib Dem in Bucks E was the Mayor of Bucks probably plays a part.
