County Councillor Sally Newton has been deselected by her local Conservative Party and will not stand for the party at the next election in 2013.
No reason has been given for the move but there is speculation that her criticism of the Tory led District Council may have influenced the decision.
Mrs.Newton is also a Town Councillor and fellow Conservatives on the Council are unhappy with her removal.
Favourite to replace Sally Newton in the All Saints Constituency is Stevenage councillor Philip Bibby.
