Constituency Profile

Cardiff South and Penarth has the largest electorate in Wales with over 76,000 people able to vote.

It extends from Rumney in the east of the capital city along the coast through Penarth to the village of Sully, taking in Cardiff Bay and the home of the National Assembly for Wales on the way. Reflecting the cosmopolitan heritage of the old docks, it is one of Wales' more diverse constituencies. According to the 2011 census, 8,700 residents said they were Muslim (out of 45,950 in the whole of Wales). A total of 1,418 people listed their religion as Hindu (the all-Wales total is 10,434). It is also home to 336 of Wales's 2,962 Sikhs. The seat has been held by Labour since 1999.

In 2011, the now deputy health Minister Vaughan Gething, more than doubled Labour's majority to 6,259, gaining over 50% of the vote. The Conservatives won 27% and Plaid Cymru 12%.
