MC before election Gaston Caperton Social Democratic Elected MC Patrick Morrisey Christian Conservative Union

A special election for the Congressional constituency of Zanuck took place on Saturday May 25, 2019 following the resignation of death of Social Democratic MC Gaston Caperton.

In early counting, within an hour of the close of polls, the Christian Conservative Union had been predicted to gain the electorate with an substantial swing against the SDP.

The by-election marked the single-biggest swing in any given seat for either the SDP or SSD since their inception and triggered the eventual resignation of Chancellor Bill Nelson.
