The director and principal proprietor of a large drapery in Belfast, he was first elected at the 1892 general election, when he stood against the sitting Parnellite MP Alexander Blane. McHugh won a comfortable victory over the Unionist candidate, while Blane secured barely 1% of the votes.[2] McHugh was re-elected in 1886, with a wide margin over another Unionist candidate,[3] and held the seat until his death in August 1900. No by-election was held for his seat before Parliament was dissolved for the general election in October 1900.[3]
