Llanelli is a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.[n 1] From 1918 to 1970 the official spelling of the constituency name was Llanelly. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election. Since 2005, it is currently represented by Nia Griffith of the Labour Party.
The Llanelli Senedd constituency was created with the same boundaries in 1999 (as an Assembly constituency).
The constituency retained its name and gained wards, 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]
