MP for Huntingdon
“A party-loyal centre-right backbencher with unusually low parliamentary attendance and one notable rebellion on a Lords hereditary peers clause.”
Ben Obese-Jecty is a Conservative MP for Huntingdon, elected on 4 July 2024. He currently serves on the Speaker's Conference (Committee) and has previously sat on the Work and Pensions Committee, and on committees related to the Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL] and the Bank Resolution (Recapitalisation) Bill [HL]. He also held the role of Opposition Assistant Whip in the Commons from November 2024 to July 2025.
Obese-Jecty shows perfect party loyalty (100%, slightly above the party average of 99%) but very low attendance (12% vs 56% party average). He has one recorded rebel vote. On policy areas, he generally votes against strengthening trade union powers and workers’ rights protections, and against renter protections and VAT changes; he repeatedly supports prison sentencing and bus services regulation, with mixed votes on climate change measures. He has generally voted in favour of mental health services and transgender rights.
Declared financial interests include two miscellaneous entries, one entry for gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources, and one entry for visits outside the UK.
