Portsmouth North (UK Parliament constituency)

Portsmouth North is a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament by Amanda Martin of the Labour Party since 2024.[n 2] As its name suggests, the constituency covers the northern portion of the city of Portsmouth in Hampshire.It was abolished for the 1950 general election and largely replaced by a new Portsmouth West constituency as the axis of division changed, but was re-established for the February 1974 general election.[4] Compared to Portsmouth South, it has a lower proportion of public sector workers, students and ethnic minorities.The seat is currently in Labour hands, but very narrowly, with the former Conservative MP and leadership candidate Penny Mordaunt commanding a large personal following.
