  2. ^ Suspended at time of election
  3. ^ Elected as Labour
  4. ^ Elected as Labour
  5. ^ Hermon was an Ulster Unionist Party MP between 2001 and February 2010, and stood as an "independent unionist" candidate in the 2010, 2015, and 2017 elections. The UUP candidate was Alan Chambers, himself a former independent unionist
