Rhondda is a community ward for Pontypridd Town Council, electing four town councillors.[2]

County Borough Council

The county borough ward elected two county councillors to Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council. At the May 2017 elections Tina Leyshon and Rob Smith were re-elected for the Welsh Labour Party.[3] Leyshon had represented the ward since 1999 and Smith since 2004.[4]

Following a local government boundary review, effective from the May 2022 local elections, the ward was combined with the neighbouring Graig ward to become a new ward named 'Graig and Pontypridd West'. The new ward elects two county borough councillors.
