		</div><p>Independent MP Fiona Onasanya has lost her seat in the House of Commons after more than 27% of registered voters in her Peterborough constituency signed a recall petition demanding her removal.</p>
<p>The 35-year-old lawyer, who was jailed for perverting the course of justice, becomes the first MP ever to be removed by the recall process, introduced by David Cameron in 2015.</p>
<p>Some 19,261 people signed the petition – 27.64% of those eligible to take part and well above the 10% threshold for a recall.</p>


<p> The successful petition now triggers a by-election in the Peterborough constituency, in which Ms Onasanya is permitted to stand.</p>



<p>Ms Onasanya was first elected to Parliament as a Labour MP by a wafer-thin majority of 607 in 2017.</p>



<p>A year later, she was charged with perverting the course of justice after lying about a speeding offence. She was expelled by Labour after her conviction and served less than four weeks of a three-month prison sentence earlier this year.</p>
