Gower (Welsh: Gŵyr) is a constituency[n 1] created in 1885 and represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament by one Member of Parliament (MP).[n 2] Tonia Antoniazzi of the Labour Party became its MP after winning it from Conservative Byron Davies in the 2017 UK general election. Her party had previously represented the seat from 1909 until 2015.
The constituency is to retain its name but its boundaries altered, 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 United Kingdom general election.[2]
