On 31 May Labour announced the selection of Torsten Bell, chief executive of the Resolution Foundation, as their candidate in the constituency. They were accused of "parachuting" their favoured candidate, against the wishes of local party members. Bell had no connection to Swansea or Wales. The previous MP, Geraint Davies, had been barred from standing because he was subject to an investigation.

In June 2023 Davies was administratively suspended from the Labour Party after allegations were made of unwanted sexual attention on younger women. Davies continued to sit as an independent MP. 12 months later he still had not been given an opportunity by the party to answer the accusations. Because he was still suspended, he was unable to stand in the 2024 general election.
