# Mount Albert (New Zealand electorate)

Mount Albert is a parliamentary electorate based around the suburb of Mount Albert in Auckland, New Zealand, returning one member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Representatives. It has elected only Labour Party MPs since it was first contested at the 1946 election. The electorate is currently held by Helen White and was recently represented by Jacinda Ardern, formerly Prime Minister of New Zealand, who was first elected in a 2017 by-election and stepped down from parliament on 15 April 2023. Before her, Mt Albert was represented by David Shearer from 13 June 2009 to 31 December 2016; it was represented by Helen Clark from the 1981 general election until her resignation from Parliament on 17 April 2009.
The area that the electorate contains is notable for having produced three Labour prime ministers – Michael Joseph Savage, who represented the Auckland West electorate that Mt Albert was created out of in 1946; Helen Clark; and Jacinda Ardern. Additionally, David Shearer served as Labour Party leader in opposition. Warren Freer, who represented the electorate from 1947 to 1981, served as acting prime minister on three occasions.

## Population centres

The 1941 New Zealand census had been postponed due to World War II, so the 1946 electoral redistribution had to take ten years of population growth and movements into account. The North Island gained a further two electorates from the South Island due to faster population growth. The abolition of the country quota through the Electoral Amendment Act, 1945 reduced the number and increased the size of rural electorates. None of the existing electorates remained unchanged, 27 electorates were abolished, eight former electorates were re-established, and 19 electorates were created for the first time, including Mount Albert.
Mount Albert covers a segment of the western Auckland isthmus, based around the suburb of Mount Albert and stretching from Kingsland on the eastern periphery of the central city down to Sandringham and extending as far as Avondale on the seat's western edge. Changes brought about by an electoral redistribution after the 2006 census saw a swap of suburbs with neighbouring Auckland Central – Newton on the city fringe being returned to Auckland Central, having been moved out in 1999, and Point Chevalier being drafted in.
The present incarnation of Mount Albert dates to 1999, when the creation of the Mount Roskill seat necessitated removing the suburbs clustered around the north side of Manukau Harbour from the Owairaka electorate. The name Mount Albert had been out of use for only three years – before Owairaka was drawn up ahead of the change to Mixed Member Proportional voting in 1996, the Mount Albert electorate had been part of the New Zealand electoral landscape for fifty years.

## History

Mount Albert was first created for the 1946 election. The electorate is known for being contested by three later prime ministers, Robert Muldoon, Helen Clark and Jacinda Ardern.
The first representative, Arthur Shapton Richards, died after only one year in office. Warren Freer succeeded him in the 1947 by-election, and held the electorate until he retired in 1981.
Muldoon (prime minister from 1975 to 1984) unsuccessfully sought the National Party nomination for the electorate in 1951. He gained the nomination to challenge Freer in the 1954 election, his first run for Parliament, but was unable to take the seat from the Labour Party, like all other National candidates before or since. Mount Albert's inner-suburb, working-class composition makes it one of Labour's safest seats.
Freer was succeeded by Helen Clark, who held the electorate until 1996, when it was abolished and she moved to the Owairaka electorate. When the Mount Albert electorate was re-established for the 1999 election, Clark became the representative again. She was Prime Minister from 1999 to 2008. In 2009, she resigned to become head of the United Nations Development Programme.
Clark was succeeded by David Shearer in the 2009 by-election. He was re-elected as MP in the 2011 and 2014 general elections, before resigning in late 2016 to lead the United Nation's peacekeeping mission in South Sudan. Jacinda Ardern, who had previously stood in the Auckland Central electorate, won the February 2017 by-election. She became leader of the Labour Party in August that year, 8 weeks before the 2017 general election, after Andrew Little stepped down as leader.
