Hauraki-Waikato

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, 2014 and 2017.

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]
