Wales is divided into thirty-two constituencies of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which elect Members of Parliament to the House of Commons.
At the 2024 United Kingdom general election in Wales, 27 Labour MPs, 4 Plaid Cymru MPs and 1 Liberal Democrat MP were elected. The Conservative Party lost all of their 13 MPs in Wales.
This is a decrease from forty constituencies, last used in the general election of December 2019 which had resulted in 22 of the Welsh constituencies being represented by Labour MPs, 14 by Conservative MPs, and 4 by Plaid Cymru MPs.[1] The number of constituencies was reduced from 40 to 32,[2] as part of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, in which the Boundary Commission for Wales set the boundaries of the new constituencies, following a process starting in 2021[3] and concluding on 28 June 2023 when the final recommendations were published by the commission.[2]
Until 2026, the devolved Senedd will continue using 40 constituencies as in the previous UK Parliament, but would later replace them with 16 Senedd constituencies comprising pairings of the 32 UK Parliament constituencies.
