Thomas Kemp Sanderson
Thomas Kemp Sanderson (1821 – 24 December 1897)[1] was an English corn merchant from Wakefield[2] in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and a Conservative Party politician.
He unsuccessfully contested Wakefield at the 1868 general election, when he was beaten by the Liberal Party candidate Somerset Beaumont.[3]
He did not stand in 1874, when the Conservative candidate Edward Green defeated Beaumont. However, Green's election was voided on petition (due to bribery), and at the resulting by-election in May 1874, he won the seat.[3]
He was defeated at the 1880 general election by the Liberal candidate Robert Bownas Mackie,[3] another local corn merchant,[2] who Sanderson had defeated in 1874. He did not stand again.[3]
