Manchester Rusholme (UK Parliament constituency)
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox UK constituencyManchester Rusholme is a parliamentary constituency centred on the Rusholme district of Manchester. It returns one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, elected by the first past the post system. Since 2024, it has been represented by Labour's Afzal Khan, who was MP for Manchester Gorton from 2017 to 2024.
History
The constituency was created by the Representation of the People Act for the 1918 general election, and abolished for the 1950 general election. Under the 2023 periodic review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was re-established for the 2024 general election.[1]
Boundaries
1918-1950
Template:Maplink The constituency was created as Manchester, Rusholme Division by the Representation of the People Act 1918, and was defined as consisting of three wards of the county borough of Manchester, namely Levenshulme, Longsight and Rusholme.[2]
The division consisted of areas that had been included with Manchester's municipal boundaries in 1890 and 1909.[3] Since the previous redistribution of seats in 1885, they had formed part of the Stretford Division of Lancashire.
The seat was abolished by the Representation of the People Act 1948, with its area being redistributed between Manchester Ardwick (Longsight), Manchester Gorton (Levenshulme) and Manchester Withington (Rusholme) borough constituencies.[4]
Current
The re-established seat comprises the City of Manchester wards of Ardwick, Fallowfield, Hulme, Moss Side, Rusholme and Whalley Range,[5] transferred in approximately equal parts from Manchester Central and the abolished constituency of Manchester Gorton (remaining parts included in the new constituency of Gorton and Denton).
