2013 Ynys Môn by-election


The Ynys Môn by-election 2013 is a by-election that was held for the Welsh Assembly constituency of Ynys Môn on Thursday 1 August 2013, following the resignation on 20 June 2013 of its sitting Assembly Member, Ieuan Wyn Jones.
The election was the third Assembly by-election to be held since its formation in 1999, and the first for over seven years.
Prior to the by-election, the governing Labour Party held exactly half the Assembly seats, meaning a gain for that party would have given the Welsh government a two-seat majority.
