A total of 30 candidates were running in the Belfast constituencies at this election.
Voters across Belfast have gone to the polls in the 2024 General Election to choose their new MP across four electoral constituencies in the city.This election was the first fought on the new boundaries which saw changes to the geographical areas including South Belfast having been renamed Belfast South and Mid Down. The changes came about after The Parliamentary Constituencies Act 2020 required that most seats have between 69,724 and 77,062 voters.
On her ill-fated bid for the East Belfast seat, the Alliance Party leader and Stormont Justice minister, Naomi Long, said: “I suppose I was in an odd situation. It’s a win-win for me. If I won the election, that was great news but if I didn’t, I get to do a job I love.” Elsewhere, Sinn Fein’s John Finucane has been re-elected as an MP for Belfast North, while his party colleague Paul Maskey held Belfast West. The SDLP's Claire Hanna retained her seat in South Belfast and Mid Down.
