The Cynon Valley Senedd constituency was created with the same boundaries in 1999 (as an Assembly constituency).
The constituency is set to be abolished, 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 next United Kingdom general election. Its wards are to be split between Merthyr Tydfil and Aberdare, and Pontypridd.[3]
