Conservatives announce candidate for Holborn and St Pancras by-election

Today [Monday 14th September 2026], the Conservatives have selected former Camden Councillor and long time local conservative campaigner Ewan Cameron to stand in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election on the 8th of October.

Ewan moved and bought his first house in the Holborn and St Pancras constituency in 2003. He and his wife have raised their two sons in the area who both attended Primrose Hill Primary.

Ewan served as councillor for Belsize on Camden Council from 1998 to 2002. During that time, he was part of the team that created the master plan that transform King's Cross from an industrial wasteland and crime hotspot into a blueprint for urban regeneration.

Unlike Labour and the Green Party who are more distracted by foreign affairs than the issues affecting Holborn and St Pancras, Ewan has a plan. He wants to deliver more family homes, safer streets and reduce the cost of living for households with Conservative polices like our Cheap Power Plan, which will cut energy bills for households and businesses by 20 per cent.

Ewan Cameron, Conservative Candidate for Holborn and St Pancras, said:

I am honoured to have been selected as the Conservative Candidate for Holborn and St Pancras. This is the community where I have lived, raised my family and call home.

From Georgian terraces, squares and the Regent's Canal to the Knowledge Quarter's research, AI and science organisations today, Holborn and St Pancras has enormous potential that with the right political leadership can become an even better place to live, work and belong. We need a Member of Parliament focused on safter streets, more family homes and cutting the cost of living. 

While families are leaving Holborn & St Pancras, the Green leader wants to talk about Gaza.  Holborn & St Pancras has recently endured a Never Here' MP. We do not want another one!

Under Kemi Badenoch's leadership the Conservative Party has changed, we have clear, fully costed plans to recruit 10,000 more police officers, scrap stamp duty on family homes and cut bills with our Cheap Power Plan.

That is the message I look forward to campaigning on over the next coming weeks.

Kevin Hollinrake MP, Chairman of the Conservative Party, said:

I am delighted that Ewan has been selected for the Holborn and St Pancras. I know over the coming weeks he will take the fight to Labour and the Greens with an authentically Conservative message.

This election is about the people of Holborn and St Pancras, not the Middle East. I know Ewan will put the issues that matter most to local residents front and centre throughout this campaign.

Ewan is standing because he knows that only Kemi Badenoch and the Conservatives have the team and the plan to deliver a Stronger Economy and a Stronger Country.
