Southwestern beaches and tourism zone. UPP won both the January 2023 general election and the October 2023 by-election. Simon voluntarily resigned and sought a fresh mandate from his constituents, winning the by-election decisively — making him one of the few MPs in the region to be elected to the same seat three times in a single year.
