# 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, 2017 and 2020 before being unseated by Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke in 2023.

## Population centres

The electorate includes the following population centres:
Within the Auckland Region: Papakura, Pukekohe, Waiuku, Clarks Beach, Ramarama, Bombay, Pōkeno.
Within the Waikato region: Meremere, Huntly, Whitianga, Whangamatā, Thames, Paeroa, Waihi, Hamilton, Ngāruawāhia, Morrinsville, Matamata, Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Raglan, Kawhia.
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. The electorate saw no boundary adjustment in the 2013/14 redistribution.
In 2020, following the relatively higher population growth in the Hauraki-Waikato electorate than that of Tāmaki Makaurau, Hauraki-Waikato's northern boundary was contracted to east of Manurewa. Following an objection raised by the Labour Party which emphasised Waiheke Island's ferry connections to Auckland, the island was moved to Tāmaki Makaurau.

## Tribal areas

The electorate includes the following tribal areas: Ngāi Tai, Ngāti Huia, Ngāti Mahuta, Ngāti Maru, Ngāti Paoa, Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāti Tamaterā, Ngāti Te Ata, Waikato-Tainui, Ngāti Porou ki Hauraki, Ngāti Hako and Ngāti Tara Tokanui

## History

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