In the United Kingdom's 2024 general election, 650 members of Parliament were elected to the country's House of Commons â one for each parliamentary constituency.
The UK Parliament consists of the elected House of Commons, the House of Lords, and the Sovereign. The new Parliament first met on 9 July 2024. Of the 650 MPs elected, more than half (335) were new to Parliament.
The Conservative Party under Prime Minister Rishi Sunak lost over 240 seats and its 14-year long tenure in government. The Labour Party formed a majority government under the leadership of Keir Starmer, winning over 400 seats. Other parties including the Liberal Democrats, Reform UK and the Green Party saw an increase in their seat share in the House of Commons at expense of the Conservatives and the Scottish National Party.
The table below shows the movement of the number of MPs from the dissolution of the 2019âÂÂ2024 parliament to those elected at the 2024 general election.
The label under which MPs sit in the House of Commons can change if they leave or are suspended from or expelled by their party. When suspended, they effectively become independents.
The chairs of the 26 select committees were elected in September 2024.
