The by-election follows the resignation of incumbent MP Scott Benton. Benton had been suspended for 35-days from the House of Commons after being caught in a newspaper sting operation offering lobbying services for payment. This triggered a recall petition, which had started, but was then terminated by Benton's resignation.
