Barnsley East by-election, 1996
- Barnsley East by-election, 1996
The Barnsley East by-election was held on 12 December 1996, following the death of the Labour Party Member of Parliament Terry Patchett for Barnsley East, in South Yorkshire, England, on 11 October.
Jeff Ennis held the seat for Labour on an increased majority of 68%, despite a low voter turnout. Despite a slight reduction in the vote for the Liberal Democrats, they overtook the Conservative Party for second place. The Socialist Labour Party, on their leader Arthur Scargill's home territory, was able to save its deposit.
With the election of a new Labour MP, the Conservatives lost their Parliamentary majority.
