South Down General Election 2024 results in full
Voters across the South Down constituency have been going to the polls in the 2024 General Election to choose their new MP.
South Down was represented in Westminster by SDLP stalwarts Eddie McGrady and Margaret Ritchie until Sinn Féin’s Chris Hazzard won the seat in 2017 and successfully defended it in 2019. Hazzard has held his seat in this year's election, with 19,698 votes.
Also in the race is Diane Forsythe for the DUP who was elected as an MLA in 2022. She will expect the boundary changes to work to her advantage and secure third place above Alliance.
