Hauraki-Waikato is a New Zealand parliamentary Māori electorate first established for the 2008 election. It largely replaced the Tainui electorate. Nanaia Mahuta of the Labour Party, formerly the MP for Tainui, became MP for Hauraki-Waikato in the 2008 general election and was re-elected in 2011 and 2014.

Population centres

The electorate includes the following population centres:

In the 2007 boundary redistribution, the Tainui electorate was reduced in size by transferring the tribal area of Ngāti Maniapoto to the Te Tai Hauāuru electorate, and in the process, the electorate was renamed as Hauraki-Waikato.[1] There was no further boundary adjustment undertaken in the 2013/14 redistribution.[2]

History

The electorate was originally proposed by Elections New Zealand as "Pare Hauraki-Pare Waikato"1 to even out the numbers on the voting roll in Tainui and Te Tai Hauauru.[3] Labour's Nanaia Mahuta won the 2008 election against Angeline Greensill of the Māori Party.[4] In the 2011 election, Mahuta defeated Greensill with a greatly increased margin of 35.5% of the candidate vote.[5] Mahuta won the 2014 election with another decisive majority.[6]
