Five MPs have declared their intention to stand in the contest to replace Ed Miliband as Labour leader. Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper, Liz Kendall, Mary Creagh and Jeremy Corbyn all say they want the top job.

To get on the shortlist which will be voted on by the wider party, a candidate needs to be nominated by at least 35 MPs. MPs have been making their support public over the last few weeks and more are expected once nominations officially open.

Of the 25 Welsh Labour MPs, 22 have so far made their nominations. Their names are listed below the relevant candidates. I'll keep this article updated as more declare. Scroll down for Deputy Leadership nominations.
