The candidate lists are being announced in Caerdydd Penarth ahead of the 2026 Senedd elections.
The Cardiff and Penarth constituency - which includes Dinas Powys, Sully and Llandough - is being merged with Cardiff West.
Each constituency will elect six new members as part of wide-ranging reforms that will increase the number of Senedd members 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 proportional representation, which means the number of seats won by a party or independent candidate is more closely aligned with the percentage of votes they receive.

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