The elections took place because the sitting MHKs, David Anderson in Glenfaba and Tim Crookall in Peel, were elected to Legislative Council.
Tonight’s new MHKs will serve for about 12 months before the next general election, which will take place in September next year.
Then the Keys seats are changing.
Peel and Glenfaba will merge then and return two members between them.
