MP for Huntingdon
“A Conservative backbencher with near-total party loyalty who has one notable deviation on Lords reform.”
Ben Obese-Jecty is the Conservative MP for Huntingdon, elected in 2024. He currently sits on the Speaker's Conference committee (from December 2024) and has held several committee roles, including on the Data (Use and Access) Bill, the Bank Resolution (Recapitalisation) Bill, and the Work and Pensions Committee; he previously served as Opposition Assistant Whip.
He has 100% party loyalty, slightly above the party average, but his attendance is unusually low at 15% (party average 56%). His voting record shows a pattern of opposing workers' rights protections, opposing trade union powers, opposing mental health services, and opposing VAT changes, while voting in favour of tougher prison sentencing, in favour of transgender rights, and in favour of a publicly owned railway. He has voted with a mixed pattern on Universal Credit and protest rights.
He has four declared financial interests: two miscellaneous entries, one for gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources, and one for visits outside the UK.
