The current Secretary of State for Wales Alun Cairns contested the seat in 1999 and 2003. Party averages from 5 elections:Labour – 44.3%, Conservative – 26.8%, Plaid Cymru – 12.2%, Lib Dem – 11.1%
BoundariesThe constituency was created for the first election to the Assembly, in 1999, with the name and boundaries of the Bridgend Westminster constituency.
