Ashfield (constituency)

Common card · No. 499296

Ashfield is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament. It is in the English county of Nottinghamshire, East Midlands, to the northwest of the city of Nottingham, in the Erewash Valley along the border with neighbouring county Derbyshire. Ashfield was part of the Red Wall, a group of constituencies in the Midlands and Northern England which formerly almost always voted for the Labour Party, until many of them switched to the Conservative Party in the 2019 general election. In the 2016 referendum on membership of the European Union, Ashfield voted 70% in favour of Brexit. Since 2019, its Member of Parliament (MP) has been Lee Anderson, who was first elected as a Conservative, but switched to Reform UK in 2024, winning reelection later that year.
