The Delyn 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 is to be split between Alyn and Deeside, and Clwyd East.

The seat comprises the mostly industrial Deeside communities of Mostyn, Flint, Mold, Northop and Holywell. Residents are slightly less affluent than the UK average.

The Delyn constituency was created in 1983 from the seats of Flintshire West and Flintshire East. It is normally inclined to elect Labour MPs, although the Conservatives won the seat in their 1983 and 1987 landslide elections, and regained it in 2019 when they won their biggest national majority since the 1980s. From 1983 to 1997, the constituency included Tory-leaning Prestatyn, which was then transferred to the Vale of Clwyd seat.
