Wrexham (Welsh: Wrecsam) is a parliamentary constituency[n 1] centred on the city of Wrexham in the preserved county of Clwyd, Wales in the United Kingdom. It was created in 1918, and is represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2024 by Andrew Ranger of the Labour Party.[n 2]

The constituency retained its name and gained wards, as part of the 2023 review of Westminster constituencies and under the June 2023 final recommendations of the Boundary Commission for Wales for the 2024 general election.[2]

## History

[edit]

Summary of results

Labour won the seat in all general elections from 1935 until 2019, when Conservative Sarah Atherton became the first woman elected to represent Wrexham.[3] This result was reversed in 2024 when Andrew Ranger regained the seat for Labour.

Tom Ellis, first elected in 1970, defected in 1981 to the newly founded Social Democratic Party. In 1983, he unsuccessfully stood for Clwyd South West instead.[4]

Turnout

Turnout has ranged between 57.5% in 2024 and 87.3% in 1950.

## Boundaries

[edit]

Until 1885, Wrexham was part of the Denbighshire parliamentary constituency, which elected one Member of Parliament until the Reform Act 1832 increased this to two members. In 1885 the Denbighshire constituency was split — the area covered today became part of East Denbighshire constituency.

In 1918 the Wrexham constituency was created, electing one Member of Parliament.

1918–1949: The Municipal Borough of Wrexham, and the Rural District of Wrexham, and part of Chirk.

1950–1983: The Municipal Borough of Wrexham, and part of the Rural Districts of Ceiriog, and Wrexham.[5]

1983–1997: The Borough of Wrexham Maelor wards Nos. 1 to 12, 23 to 25 and 28 to 36.[6]

For the 1983 general election, major boundary reorganisation saw large areas removed from the Wrexham constituency to form part of the new constituency of Clwyd South West.
