Here are the full results for the Hackney North and Stoke Newington constituency at the 2024 general election.
Diane Abbott was elected Labour MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington.
The former cabinet member, and the first ever black woman to be elected as an MP was only formally cleared to stand at the last minute.
When the election was called, she had still not had the Labour whip restored and claimed in May she had been barred from standing.
The whip had been suspended after she wrote in a letter to the Observer that Irish, Jewish and Traveller "undoubtedly experience prejudice" which is "similar to racism" but they are "not all their lives subject to racism".
She apologised and withdrew her comments. Abbott also said the letter was an initial draft sent by mistake. Labour launched an investigation in April 2023.
It later emerged that an investigation had ended in December 2023 and that she had completed a two-hour antisemitism awareness course in February 2024, after which she reportedly received an email acknowledging completion from Labour's chief whip.
Ms Abbott was elected to Parliament in 1987 and served as shadow home secretary under former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
These are the full results:
- ABBOTT Diane Labour Party 24,355
- AHMAD Ryan Independent 621
