Labour MP Joanna Reid has resigned as the representative for East Kilbride, Strathaven, and surrounding communities.

Voters in the last election chose Labour’s candidate, reflecting support for the party, but many in the community feel their voices are not being heard. With Joanna Reid's resignation, the region is left without its elected voice in Parliament, which means critical local issues may go unaddressed.

Holding a by-election is crucial to ensure that the interests of the residents are properly represented in Parliament. It’s paramount that each community within the jurisdiction, including East Kilbride, Strathaven, Avondale, Stonehouse, and other areas, has the opportunity to elect someone who can actively engage and address their concerns in the legislative process.

We urge the authorities to act swiftly in setting a date for a by-election. This will not only bring a renewed focus on pressing local matters but also reaffirm the democratic principles that allow citizens to choose their representatives. The community deserves a leader who truly understands the issues and aspirations of its constituents.

Let's ensure that democracy prevails and our region’s voice is heard. Sign this petition to demand an immediate by-election. Let’s stand together to make this change happen!
