Tory MP Chris Davies unseated, triggering by-election in Brecon & Radnorshire
Quote:
A by-election will be held in Brecon and Radnorshire after 10,005 people signed a petition to remove the constituency's Conservative MP, Chris Davies.
Mr Davies had been convicted of a false expenses claim in March.
A total of 5,303 names were needed to trigger a fresh poll.
Recall petitions are launched for a number of reasons including when MPs are convicted of providing false information about their expenses.
In 2017 Chris Davies's majority was 8,038.
