History

The electorate was formed for the 1999 election, which was won by Parekura Horomia of the Labour Party.[2] Horomia's death on 29 April 2013 triggered a by-election,[3] which was held on 29 June and won by Labour's Meka Whaitiri.[4] The Māori Party had nominated tribal leader Na Rongowhakaata Raihania.[5][6] and the Mana Party had selected television presenter Te Hamua Nikora as its candidate.[7][8] The Green Party had selected environmentalist and human rights advocate Marama Davidson.[9][10][11] Further candidates had been Michael Appleby for the Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party[9][12][13] plus two independent candidates.[9] Based on preliminary results, Whaitiri more than tripled her 2014 election night majority over Mana's Nikora. Also based on preliminary results, Marama Fox of the Māori Party was elected to Parliament as a list MP.[14]
