Coventry North West is a constituency[n 1] in the city of Coventry represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2019 by Taiwo Owatemi of the Labour Party.[n 2]
1974–1983: The County Borough of Coventry wards of Bablake, Holbrook, Radford, and Sherbourne.
1983–1997: The City of Coventry wards of Bablake, Holbrook, Radford, and Sherbourne.
1997–present: The City of Coventry wards of Bablake, Holbrook, Radford, Sherbourne, Whoberley, and Woodlands.
The area's electorate has roughly grown in line with national trends, leading to minimal boundary changes and has elected Labour MPs at every election since its first election in February 1974.
In 2019, the long-time incumbent Geoffrey Robinson retired, and at the ensuing general election the Conservatives achieved a swing of more than 8% in their favour, with the Labour majority falling to three figures for the first time in the seat's history.
