The candidate lists are being announced in Caerdydd Penarth ahead of the 2026 Senedd elections.

So far, two parties have confirmed their candidates standing in the new super constituency which sees the Cardiff South and Penarth constituency - which includes Dinas Powys - being merged with Cardiff West.

Each constituency will elect six new members as part of wide-ranging reforms which will see the number of Senedd members extend from 60 to 96.

The election will also see the 40 area constituencies replaced with 16 larger constituencies, with the four electoral regions - including South Wales Central - being abolished.

At the polls, the traditional first-past-the-post system is being replaced with a form of proportional representation, which means the number of seats won by a party or an independent candidate is more closely reflected by the percentage of votes they get.

We'll bring you a full list of the candidates for each party in Caerdydd Penarth as soon as they're confirmed.

The candidate list for the Penybont Bro Morgannwg constituency can be found HERE.
