Panmure-Ōtāhuhu
Panmure-Ōtāhuhu is an electorate to the New Zealand House of Representatives. It was first contested at the 2020 election.
Population centres[]
The electorate consists of the mid-eastern part of the Manukau Ward, and a long strip of suburbs along the west bank of the Tāmaki River. It is located in south-central Auckland, along the thinnest section of the Auckland isthmus.[1]
History[]
It was created in the 2019/20 redistribution. Rapid population growth north of Auckland resulted in a domino effect through Auckland, and Manukau East was moved northward, losing a triangular area around Puhinui to Manurewa and being extended north to Point England. Initially it was proposed to keep the name of Manukau East, but the name of Panmure-Ōtāhuhu was adopted instead after a public consultation period. The new electorate was created out of the bulk of Manukau East and the eastern section of Maungakiekie.[2][3]
Manukau East, Panmure-Otahuhu's predecessor, was, since its creation in 1996, a safe Labour seat, held in 2020 by Jenny Salesa. When Salesa contested the new electorate in the 2020 election she won again based on preliminary results, holding the seat for Labour.[4]
