Cardiff South and Penarth (Welsh: De Caerdydd a Phenarth) is a constituency created in 1983 represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2012 by Stephen Doughty, a Labour Co-op MP.[n 1] It was the largest constituency in Wales, with an electorate of 75,175 and one of the most ethnically diverse.[4]
The constituency retained its name, but with altered boundaries, as part of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies and under the June 2023 final recommendations of the Boundary Commission for Wales for the 2024 general election.[5]
