The 1931 Manchester Ardwick by-election was held on 22 June 1931. The by-election was held due to the death of the incumbent Labour MP, Thomas Lowth. It was won by the Labour candidate Joseph Henderson.[1]
Henderson's victory was short-lived. At the general election later in the year he was defeated by the Conservative Albert Fuller by over 5,000 votes.[2] However he would regain the seat when he successfully challenged Fuller at the 1935 general election.[3]
