The Ynys Môn by-election 2013 is a by-election that was held for the Welsh Assembly constituency of Ynys Môn on Thursday 1 August 2013 following the resignation on 20 June 2013 of its sitting Assembly Member Ieuan Wyn Jones.The election was the third Assembly by-election to be held since its formation in 1999 and the first for over seven years (the previous contest being at Blaenau Gwent in June 2006).Prior to the by-election the governing Labour Party held exactly half the Assembly seats meaning a gain for that party (who have held the equivalent seat in the House of Commons since 2001) would have given the Welsh government a two seat majority.
