Yahoo News The full list of all 32 MPs in Wales and who they are
The election results are in, and we now know the 32 MPs who are representing Wales in Westminster. In Wales Labour has taken 27 seats of the total 32 seats with Plaid Cymru winning four seats and the Liberal Democrats taking a seat.
It means for the first time since 2001 there are no Conservative MPs representing Wales and it has been their worst-ever electoral performance in terms of vote share with just 18% of the vote in Wales.
A new government, led by Sir Keir Starmer, will now be formed. It is expected Cardiff East MP Jo Stevens will be named the new Welsh secretary in his first cabinet. This election the number of constituencies in Wales changed from 40 to 32 after there was a review of the constituency boundaries.
