Nine candidates have put themselves forward to become the city's new MP

Polling stations have opened in a by-election that will see Chester's next MP elected.

The vote was triggered when Labour's Christian Matheson, who had represented the city since 2015, resigned in October after a panel found he was guilty of serious sexual misconduct.

Polls opened across the City of Chester constituency at 07:00 GMT and will close at 22:00.

Nine candidates have put themselves forward to become the new MP.
