History

[edit]

Predecessor seats and constituent wards

The seat was formed in 1997 whenNewham North East and part ofNewham South were replaced by the seat.

East Ham's wards have long been Labourstrongholds.Ron Leighton (Lab) was MP for the oldNewham North East from 1979 until his death in 1994.

Summary of results

Stephen Timms (Lab) has represented the seat since its creation in 1997. At the2010 general election, Timms received the most votes of any MP (35,471) and largest majority (27,826) of any MP. The seat has the second-highest numerical majority and fourth-highest percentage of majority in the country, behind other staunch Labour "safe seats" inMerseyside.^[3] Every component ward has only Labour councillors (resulting fromlocal elections) and the party's general election candidate has achieved anabsolute majority in the five elections since creation, against a wide assortment ofpolitical parties.

TheRESPECT Coalition stood a candidate once, hoping to benefit from opposition to theIraq war in the2005 general election which saw elsewhere their first MP, and took second place.^{[n 3]}

Constituency profile

[edit]

Just north of the River Thames is the seat of East Ham. A dense urban seat in the north east of Newham containing large areas of Victorian housing.

Three quarters of the population are non-white; over a third are Muslim and more than half are Asian – the fourth highest proportion of any constituency in England and Wales, according to ONS 2011 Census figures. There is also a large black population.

Unemployment is significantly higher than the national average of 3.5%. In the constituency 9.9% of people are unemployed.

At the 2018, 2014 and 2010 council elections, Labour won all of the seats in the constituency. One of the safest Labour seats in the country, Stephen Timms has been MP since 1994.

The population of Newham has grown significantly in the 21st century^[4] so its representation increased from two seats to three in the2023 boundary review. This reduced the area covered by the East Ham seat.
